Why what why do you like to walk with me? I? I don't know. I just enjoy it. Why do you enjoy it? I don't know. I guess it's just because you're different somehow. Oh, how am I different? I don't know. Well, you say I'm different. You must have something in mind. No, you just seem different That's all. Oh But one thing I don't know anyone else who would walk all the way home with me every time the way you do Has it ever occurred to you Joanne that I might have a reason for that? You must be very fond of walk. I am I'm a great walker You'd know idea how I look forward to these little afternoon walks of ours Joanne Do you look forward to? Yes, I do all week long while I'm chained to my desk there in the city hall Way down by the cares of office. I dream little dreams, you know I never think of you as the water commissioner somehow. Don't you? How do you think of me? Oh, I don't know. Just as Mr. Gilder Steve. I guess Leroy's nice uncle. Oh It must be a terrible responsibility being Leroy's uncle. Oh, no being water commissioner. Oh, it is yes My mind is seldom off the matter fact my friends tell me I drive myself too hard That's the way it is when a man has nothing else to live for he's have to lose himself in his job But you always seem to take things so easily. It's a mask. I wear I Don't know anyone else would take time off just to go for walks this way time off That's the way it appears to you. I suppose Actually, I'm never away from the job. Well under these very streets as we stroll along under these very streets or water mains Six inch I believe and from the mains pipelines branch off to all the houses a giant network Arderies carrying water the life blood of the whole community all my responsibility. I never thought of that down there at the reservoir There's the pump like a great heart beating away the heart of this whole town that pump has to be kept going Charlie Anderson's in charge of that and I'm in charge of Charlie Anderson Really, I I don't see how you can sleep now. I can't but it isn't the waterworks that keeps me awake Do you know what it is Joanne? Yes, and I'll tell you just what to do for it because I know what my father does Eat a bowl of milk toast before you go to bed Did I say something come on And did I take her home and what happens to be getting home to supper. What does she want? What does it matter? What does anything matter? Just like Napoleon retreating from Moscow. Why? Trudging along like that with your chin on your chest Where's Joanne? I'll show you to walk and I took her home. Don't tell me you've had a lover's quarrel. Nope No quarrels. You just had a date for this evening with some snake in the grass Who was it? Was it that high and some young mr. Albright? I didn't give her the satisfaction of asking her now I won't hear a word against Joanne Throckmorton because I think she's just too sweet Of course, I don't know that I think she's quite the girl for you, but I think she's sweet She's sweet, but she's just like all the rest They're all the same. Women are all the same. Oh now that's just about the silliest statement I ever heard. I'm not Well, I'm not talking about you Throckmorton, I Don't want to influence you in any way of course But if there's ever any way that I can help I want you to feel that you can come to be and confide in me I want you to feel that Throckmorton Well Thanks, Lila How was it going Throckmorton? Are you and Joanne getting any while? Getting anywhere. I mean, how does it stand now? You tell me I Don't know how anything stands. I know where I am with her from one minute to the next like this afternoon I walk her all the way home and then I find out she's got a date for the evening with somebody else Without a word to me. Had you asked her for a date yourself? Well, no, but gosh, you too aren't Engaged or anything are you? Well, not exactly. No, have you ever proposed to her? Have you ever told her you love her? What do you want to know for her? I'm your friend, Throckmorton Well, no, I guess I haven't come to think of it. Oh gracious, how can you expect the poor girl to Man are so ridiculous Well, where's all this intuition you hear so much about women are supposed to be able to read your mind That's the trouble with you, man. You think we have nothing better to read. She may be reading somebody else's mind Mr. Albright's the instance darn him. Why doesn't he stick to his banking? I'll tell you what I do Throckmorton Of course, maybe you don't want any advice from me. Oh, I do Lila. You're a woman Well, women can be sensible, you know and I believe Joanne at heart is a sensible girl I really do. Oh, she is. Well, I'd go to her and I'd just put my cards on the table You what? I think it's the only way I'd say to her Joanne. I'm offering you the love of an older man I'm forty-four and I'm forty-three Forty-three going on forty-four You Must be quite frank with us rock Martin. She'll respect you for it. Well, I'd say to her I'm forty-four and I have a nephew age 12 and a niece who's almost as old as you are But all that I have is yours. You think she might I think it might settle the whole thing I suppose she said no, I've known you for a long time And I've never yet known you to take no for now By George, maybe you're right maybe I've been too timid about the whole thing I ain't hot never one fair lady. Maybe you ought to just march in there and say to her Joanne look here I've got a proposition to make how could anyone resist Hmm. The only trouble is it's kind of hard to talk to her about things like that. She's a darn innocent Either innocent or she's kidding Go here from the great man again very soon right now a lady is having the usual Difficulties with the proprietor of the grocery store silence Sam.

I Must go down to the sea again to the lonely sea in the sky How's that and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer by That's John Mayfield. Do you like poetry? Do I I'm crazy about it say Joanne Poetry and music have a lot in common. I guess so I never thought much about it What I was going to say rhythm is so important in both. I George. You're right rhythm. Yes, what I was saying Oh, yes, what was it? Well about these walks. I wouldn't want you to get the wrong idea What do you mean? Well, some people might think that just because we're taking these long walks together that and there's something going on But that just goes to show you how some people are Joanne some old busybodies Oh, who cares about that's what I say I don't think it's anybody's business, but mine if I want to go for a walk Yeah, who I go with sure if I happen to be madly in love with somebody You are oh Oh, I just mean it's nobody else's business if I am oh, yeah, and the other person involved of course. Oh, yes him Say Joanne, I've been reading the most exciting book. It's called and she be fair. Have you read it? Well, no, I'm not in the book of the month anymore What was the name again and she be fair? It's from the Keats quotation forever. We'll tell love and she be fair Love story. Hey, it's about Chakowsky and madam von neck. Do you know the story Chakowsky composing sure? Do you know about him and not you von neck not? Oh, you bet This new book gives a wonderful account of it To me, it's one of the loveliest relationships. I ever read oh me too between a man and a woman Why can't all lie to be as beautiful as that Joanne What? nothing I must go down to the sea again to the lonely sea in the sky Joanne, I know I'm now I'm no Chakowsky, but couldn't we I mean couldn't I Well, it wouldn't be the same of course, but you mean Yes, couldn't we have a sort of understanding you mean like Chakowsky? Well, I don't play the piano of course, but you We'd have to start by not seeing each other. Well, that's the way you do it But we'd have to think about each other great deal. Oh, I do already and we'd have to write to each other every day, right? That's what Chakowsky did. Well, I thought you knew the story. Oh, I do. I'd forgotten some of the details You write me a letter telling me about your work work. Well, I suppose there's some things I could say about it And then I write you a letter great and it might help if every day at some agreed time about 8 o'clock 8 p.m. All right at 8 o'clock every evening we think about each other think the author said in this book Chakowsky's music was really the flowering of their Relationship but she was such an inspiration to him. So are you on the other hand Chakowsky meant everything to her He had such fire such nobility of spirit. He was so sensitive Heck is on doing I wasn't spying. I was just looking maybe he's worried about something Yeah, if people are worried they like to be alone sometime But on the other hand, why would he want to worry for exactly five minutes at exactly 8 o'clock? Search me. He's goofy At first I thought he wants ocean to the radio Truman there's somebody But why should he kick us out of the parlor just for that he does sometimes Can't hear any radio Heck if he's playing the piano the five minutes must be up. Yeah, I guess so Yes, you can come back Thank You children. Oh, that's okay. What the heck was the idea? I wanted to be alone and think for a few minutes. That's all What's that you're trying to play that old piece of Freddie Martin's friend My dear Chakowsky. Oh, yes, but nobody ever would have heard of it if it hadn't been for the melody is Chakowsky's Probably from one of his symphonies. Believe me. He didn't need Freddie Martin Wish I could play it. Can you play it Leroy? No, I suppose so Let's see four flats Chakowsky what melodies? Anki, why this sudden craze for Chakowsky? It's not a sudden craze. I've always liked the man Do you know the story of Chakowsky's life? Fascinating you hear about his love affair with madam. Uh, madam. What's your name? No, well, they made history Romeo and Juliet were a couple of pikers alongside of them. What did they do? Well, I don't know exactly but it was a tremendous love affair. I can tell you that Musician, you know Wonder if they've got that book down at the library. What book it's about Chakowsky and this madam What's her name? My Georgia might just run down there. You're certainly overboard for Chakowsky You made me stop playing now Chakowsky record. I what Chakowsky record? Have you still got it? Well, sure Marjorie it could I could you find it and play it for me? Would you poor Anki? He's really got it bad. What's that? Uh-huh Chakowsky, what is the record? Oh, here it is the piano concerto. I wish I'd known I'd have played it at 8 o'clock. Well tomorrow Listen to those chords Anybody that could write that you must have been a bear Copy of it in it's being quite popular Maybe I didn't add the right title. Oh, yes. Yes, that's the title and she'd be fair. It's about Chakowsky That's right about him and madam madam von make madam von Eve. Good one. Well, hi We're in a library. Oh, well, I'm leaving. I haven't got the book. I want you leaving to Eve Yeah, I must say thought more than I'm a little surprised to find you at the library. Oh, I should you be oh come now And that book you were after biography. What's come over you? Well, it's a long story if you're not doing anything. I'd love to hear about it Oh, I got mixed up with the I mean that's how I got to seeing this girl and then this afternoon we had this idea what? Well, I gosh, I'm glad it's you I'm telling you soon. You won't laugh at me. Why should I laugh at you? Well, most people probably wouldn't be able to appreciate it. You're not like some women Eve You haven't any axe to grind. Thank you Well, anyway, this afternoon she Joanne was telling me about this terrific romance between Chakowsky and this madam von mech Yes, and the way I've been feeling about Joanne. I mean gosh, I haven't dared to say boo to her about Well, you know how it is when she's so young and everything it isn't like talking to you Eve You certainly haven't changed I've lost three pounds. Don't you notice you have took them all off right here And well, anyway, I've been scared to say anything to her and then suddenly we thought how it would be if Well, if she would be madam von mech and I would be Chakowsky cute idea very And she said I should write her a couple of letters and kind of box around for a while And then maybe develop into one of the great Relationships she said one of the great relationships of history. Well, you know, I'm not terribly musical I sing a little He I thought you'd understand I didn't mean to laugh. Oh gosh if you think it's so funny It isn't funny But I'd want you why do you persist in getting mixed up with literary girls? They always get you in trouble I I don't know what you're talking about. Do you know the story of Chakowsky and madam von mech certainly Tell it to me. Well, they had this terrific romance. I don't know every little thing about it There's just one little thing about it. I think you ought to know before you get too excited what well I think this little encyclopedia I don't see what you're getting at Eve. This girl is so sweet so open above boy, of course I just think maybe her ideas are a little young for you. I don't get excited. I don't mean that the way you think Oh Here Tchaikovsky born educated composed 120 here it is for 20 years He maintained a curiously absorbing relationship with madam Nadia von mech exchanging letters with her But Tchaikovsky died without ever having seen her face to face never met never laid eyes on her never Well by George she can count me out Musician The great gilded slave will be back again very shortly Every day millions of women all over America serve crafts parquet margarine because it tastes so good Try it soon discover for yourself.
