From the Short Story by A.M. BurragePetronella - Dorothy Allcock
George - Ivor MaddoxScene: An Old Windmill near to a Golf Course.
Petronella and George are respectively nineteen and thirty-six - and thirty-six, as George says, is the devil of an age when you are in love with nineteen. Petronella tries to make him jealous by asking his advice about a proposal she has had, and when she asks him to propose to her himself, he calls her a scalp-hunter: the situation is very difficult for Petronella, who have loved George ever since she can remember.
