PENELOPE
"though she clapped when the curtain came down because he looked so handsome then we had Martin Harvey for breakfast dinner and supper I thought to myself afterwards it must be real love if a man gives up his life for her that way for nothing I suppose there are a few men like that left its hard to believe in it though unless it really happened to me the majority of them with not a particle of love in their natures to find two people like that nowadays full up of each other that would feel the same way as you do theyre usually a bit foolish in the head his father must have been a bit queer to go and poison himself after her still poor old man I suppose he felt lost shes always making love to my things too the few old rags I have wanting to put her hair up at 15 my powder too only ruin her skin on her she's time enough for that all her life after of course shes restless knowing she's pretty with her lips so red a pity they wont stay that way I was too" (U18.1053)
Martin Harvery, with his wife actress Miss N. de Silva, in 'A Cigarette Maker's Romance.'
