After MRS.
CONNAGE and ALEC go out there is a pause.
ROSALIND still stares moodily at the fireplace. AMORY goes to her and puts his arm around her.) AMORY: Darling girl. (They kiss.
Another pause and then she seizes his hand, covers it with kisses and holds it to her breast.) ROSALIND: (Sadly) I love your hands, more than anything.
I see them often when you're away from me--so tired; I know every line of them. Dear hands! (Their eyes meet for a second and then she begins to cry--a tearless sobbing.) AMORY: Rosalind! ROSALIND: Oh, we're so darned pitiful! AMORY: Rosalind! ROSALIND: Oh, I want to die! AMORY: Rosalind, another night of this and I'll go to pieces.
