And yes, I do remember the dialogue you quote, alas! (& woe). None of them is supposed to be either Trevor or Celia. I wouldn't dream of doing anything like that to my babies. They'd divorce me if I did. Still, now you have a d-b p of your own. Others may follow. It never rains, don't you know... Re. future: I should hope NOT!

An intercours with not much hope of any future! Or... but in fact the look of their eyes directly recalls the title of Noel Coward's 1935 short one-act stage play Still Life which inspired Lean's film. Anyway it is consoling and reassuring that those who appear in the pic will not even come to a conversation like that: Alec: Good morning. Laura: Oh, good morning. Alec: How's the eye? Laura: Perfectly all right. How kind it was of you to take so much trouble. Alec: Nothing at all. It's clearing up I think. Laura: Yes, it's going to be nice. Alec: Well, I must be getting along to the hospital. Laura: Now I must be getting along to the grocers. Alec (wryly): What exciting lives we lead, don't we? PS: By the way, which one in the pic could be supposed as Trevor Howard? Indeed! An intercours with not much hope of any future!

Alas, platypusses are notoriously elusive and non-compromising cretures. But I can draw one for you...eventually. Tell Mr. Picabia and Mr. Magritte to stop interfering with your connections. The cheek!... My dear, if it was mine to give, you’d have your own duck-billed platypuss by return post. Alas, platypusses are notoriously elusive and non-compromising cretures.

By the way, today, for the first time, I come to know the English name ... Platypus?!? Now I want it more and more!
