MADAM BUTTERFLY IQ<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
Mr. B. F. Pinkerton, forgive me<br />
(Shows her hands and arms, which are encumbered by stuffed-out sleeves)<br />
I should like a young girl's few possessions<br />
PINKERTON<br />
But where are they ?<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
(pointing to her sleeves)<br />
They are here are you angry?<br />
PINKERTON<br />
(rather astonished, smiles then quickly and gallantly reassures her)<br />
Nay, angry,<br />
Why, dear little <strong>Butterfly</strong> ?<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
(empties her sleeves, placing their contents one by one on a stool)<br />
Kerchiefs a pipe a buckle<br />
A colored ribbon<br />
A mirror and a fan<br />
PINKERTON<br />
(sees a jar)<br />
What is that little pot?<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
A little jar of paint.<br />
PINKERTON<br />
Oh,<br />
fie !<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
You mind it?<br />
(throws it away)<br />
There !<br />
(draws out a long and narrow sheath)<br />
PINKERTON<br />
And that thing?<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
(very gravely)<br />
That I hold most sacred.<br />
PINKERTON<br />
And am I not to see it?<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
(beseeching<br />
Pray excuse me.<br />
and grave)<br />
Not here in public.<br />
(she lays down the sheath very reverently)
