　　[INT. KITCHEN - EVENING]

　　[Daisy absentmindedly sifts¹ flour.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　How is he?

　　MRS HUGHES (sigh)

　　His father's with him now and he seems to understand the situation.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Poor man.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Daisy, William's asking to see you.

　　DAISY

　　I can't go. Don't make me go.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Do you care so little for him?

　　DAISY

　　It's not that. I'm very fond of William, and I'm very sad, but I've led him on and led him on and made him think things that aren't true.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　He wanted them to be true. He was happy to think they were true.

　　DAISY

　　But that doesn't make it all right.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Shall I tell him you won't come?

　　[Both Mrs Hughes and Mrs Patmore give Daisy a stern look. She takes off her apron² and leaves.]

　　[INT. GUEST BEDROOM - EVENING]

　　[Daisy enters. William's voice is hoarse³.]

　　WILLIAM

　　Will you leave us a moment?

　　[Mr Mason and Edith leave the room.]

　　DAISY

　　There's no need to make 'em leave.

　　WILLIAM

　　There is a need. Come here.

　　[Daisy sits in the chair next to his bed.]

　　WILLIAM

　　I know I'm dying.

　　DAISY

　　You don't know--

　　WILLIAM

　　I'm dying, Daisy. I'm not going to make it. I don't have long. That's why you've got to marry me.

　　DAISY

　　What?

　　WILLIAM

　　No, listen. You'll be my widow. A war widow with a pension and rights. You'll be looked after. It won't be much, but I'll know you've got something to fall back on. Let me do that for you, please.

　　DAISY

　　I can't. It would be dishonest. Almost like cheating.

　　WILLIAM

　　But it's not cheating. We love each other, don't we? We'd've married if I'd got through it, spent our whole lives together. Where's the dishonesty in that?

　　[Mr Mason and Edith wait in the corridor. Edith enters the room when Daisy comes out.]

　　MR MASON

　　He's asked you, hasn't he? I knew he would. You'll do it, won't you?

　　DAISY

　　I don't think he should be bothering about it now.

　　MR MASON

　　What else should he be bothered with? You're the most important thing on earth to him, Daisy. You wouldn't disappoint him, would you?

　　DAISY

　　Suppose the vicar won't do it? He may want to wait till William's well enough to go to church.

　　MR MASON

　　But that time's not coming, is it?
