Seduction Lyricsby . From Woman In White Seduction by SERVANT Miss Marian Halcombe (Fosco is pleasantly surprised. He shoos the servant away. He slicks back his hair back, adjusts his smoking jacket. The servant exits as Marian enters) FOSCO To what Miss Halcombe do we owe this honour? Each successive day was getting duller MARIAN (as she takes her coat off, revealing her red dress to him for the first time) Well I somehow thought you might be missing me FOSCO I must tell you scarlet is your color MARIAN I cannot spend all my life in mourning Though in ev'ry way I miss my sister FOSCO Truly you display a healthy attitude MARIAN I'm for the first time on my own FOSCO Really you need not be alone One should explore on'es playful side MARIAN You are a guide most qualified FOSCO I leave in the morning for the continent MARIAN In my provincial world I cannot be content FOSCO We could lead a life that would be well mis-spent MARIAN And I have no doubt that would be thrilling But alas it seems my glass requires refilling (Fosco takes her glass and re-fills it generously-as he does she quickly and surreptitiously looks on his desk for the document before hastily arranging herself on the sofa. He hands her the drink) MARIAN Delicious! Sir if I remove my shoes would that be shocking? FOSCO I'd be breathless as your buckles are undone I would walk to warsaw just to see your stocking And to see your shapely ankle I would run MARIAN You should know it took great courage for this visit But I must admit that I am glad that I am here FOSCO And that dress you're falling out of is exquisite MARIAN Though I'm trembling it is clearly not from fear FOSCO It's apparent we were made for one another We're each others moon and sun we're so well matched Though my feelings aren't remotely like a brother We are over twenty-one and unattached MARIAN I've been waiting all my life for an adventure FOSCO What in truth you have been waiting for is me Let us begin our minuette MARIAN No looking back and no regret Don't I deserve a life of bliss? FOSCO (intimate) Think of this as the precipice (they kiss) FOSCO I can open up a world you've only heard of MARIAN Introduce me to a life beyond your dreams FOSCO We'll share secrets that we'll never breath a word of And we'll take pursuit of pleasure to extremes BOTH You and I are willing to defy convention You're my equal both in joie de vivre and wit We find another worthy of attention we don't care what others think of us one bit (they kiss) FOSCO As a paramour I'm rather out of practice But I'll rise to this occasion I embrace MARIAN But that bard of yours is rather like a cactus May I save, if not my virtue then my face? Would you kindly shave it off Do be a darling? FOSCO Then i will fly back to your side just like a startling (Fosco leaves to shave. Marian dashes around the room looking for the document, opening drawers etc.) MARIAN (sotto voce) Think, think Marian. Where is it? Where is it? (she continues to look. She finds the document, reads it) MARIAN (sotto voce) Please! Yes! (she does not have time to put the paper back, before she hears him approaching. She hids it about her person. Fosco re-enters, in the mood for love. She sits herself quickly.) FOSCO Now my chin is even softer than a baby Let's resume this tete a tete from where we were (She edges away from him) MARIAN Though my heart says yes my head's now saying maybe And my feet are growing colder and concur (She puts on her shoes again) FOSCO When I left this room were we both not on fire? We'ren't we both about to give romance a whirl? (She stands up) MARIAN On reflection I found out I'm somewhat shy-er And perhaps I'm not really that kind of girl (Fosco pauses, looks at her intensely) FOSCO It appears that you have lost your taste for kissing So I'd appreciate if you'd return what's missing (Wordlessly she gives the document back to him. He holds onto her a moment) MARIAN Please. Please let me go. Please. (He does so) FOSCO This game is through You think you win But think about What might have been If you had let romance begin Instead of hiding In your shell One day you'll see What you have spurned My precious gift That you returned A gift for living well Your every day A great event Living on the continent Yes, it's true I would have you spellbound (she looks away from him) This game of hearts You gladly trade For solitaire (with venom) and old maid And so I say fare well MARIAN Someday your past will catch you up FOSCO Please don't let me keep you (She leaves. He gathers up all his cases as he prepares for his final exit) FOSCO I can get away with ev'rything Except the girl, perhaps My epic charms have undergone a temporary lapse But when it's time to make an exit and I am halfway out the door As long as one is leaving anyway then leave them wanting more (he leaves) [Thanks to Bluesboyjason696@aol.com for lyrics]
