Gerald: she looked young and fresh and charming and altogether out of place down here.
And obviously she wasn't enjoying herself. Old joe meggarty, half-drunk and goggle-eyed, had
wedged her into a corner with that obscene fat carcass of his--
Sheila: (with sharp sarcasm) of course not. You were the wonderful fairy prince. You
must have adored it, gerald.
Sheila: I don't dislike you as I did half an hour ago, gerald. In fact, in some odd way, I
rather respect you more than I've ever done before. I knew anyhow you were lying about those
months last year when you hardly came near me
Gerald: no. I wasn't telling you a complete lie when I said i'd been very busy at the works
all that time. We were very busy. But of course I did see a good deal of her.
Sheila: but you're forgetting I'm supposed to be engaged to the hero of it. Go on, Gerald.
You went down into the bar, which is a favourite haunt of the women of the town.
Gerald: I didn't propose to stay long down there. I hate those hard-eyed dough-faced
women. But then I noticed a girl who looked quite different. She was very pretty – soft brown
hair and big dark eyes- (breaks off.) My god!
Gerald: I'm sorry, Sheila. But it was all over and done with, last summer. I hadn't set eyes
on the girl for at least six months. I don't come into this suicide business.
Gerald: I happened to look in, one night, after a long dull day, and as the show wasn't
very bright, I went down into the bar for a drink. It's a favourite haunt of women of the town--
Gerald: Why should you? It's bound to be unpleasant and disturbing
Gerald: yes. I suppose it was inevitable. She was young and pretty and warm hearted –
and intensely grateful. I became at once the most important person in her life – you understand?
Gerald: You've been through it – and now you want to see somebody else put through it
Mrs Birling: (staggered) it isn't true. You know him, Gerald -and you're a man – you
must know it isn't true.
// she looks at him almost in triumph. He looks crushed. The doors slowly opens and the
inspector appears, looking steadily and searchingly at them.//
Gerald:I want you to understand that I didn't install
her there so that I could make love to her. I made her go to morgan Terrace because I was sorry
for her, and didn't like the idea of her going back to the palace bar. I didn't ask for anything i
Gerald: all right, if you must have it. I met her first, sometime in march last year, in the
stalls bar at the palace.
Gerald: in that case – as I'm rather more – upset – by this business than I probably appear
to be – and – well, i'd like to be alone for a while – I'd be glad if you'd let me go.
Sheila: Oh don't be stupid. We haven't much time. You gave yourself away as soon as he
mentioned her other name.
Gerald: the girl saw me looking at her and then gave me a glance that was nothing less
than a cry for help
Gerald: all right – I did for a time. Nearly any man would have done.
Gerald (with an effort) inspector, I think miss birling ought to be excused any more of
this questioning. She'd nothing more to tell you. She's had a long exciting and tiring day – we
were celebrating our engagement, you know – and now she's obvio
Gerald: All right. I knew her. Let's leave it at that.
Sheila: Were you seeing her last spring and summer, during that time you hardly
came near me and said you were so busy? Were you?
Gerald: No, it wasn't. ( he waits a moment, then in a low, troubled tone.) she told me
she'd been happier than she'd ever been before – but that she knew it couldn't last – hadn't
expected it to last. She didn't blame me at all.
Birling: Now, sheila, I'm not defending him. But you must understand that a lot of young
men
Gerald: (hesitatingly) it's hard to say. I didn't feel about her as she felt about me.
Sheila: but just in case you forget – or decide not to come back, Gerald, I think you'd
better take this with you. (she hands him the ring.)
