Dreaming Of Spring.--Act 5--Scene 3.
At a cottage overlooking a seaside Steve Fothergill is sitting in his garden.The evening sky is beautifull as the sun sets below the ocean it looks spectacular.He doesn't seem to notice the sunset or the surrounding.Oblivious in his own thoughts and talking to himself.
Steve Fothergill--"Twenty years had just gone but I still feel like yesterday.Like I was a doctor in Dr Evans clinic.I have unfinished business there with the only girl I ever loved.Since then I have done nothing but run from her.What have become of Emily?Did she still think of me?Did she still love me?She must have forgotten me by now.Maybe she found another guy.May be she is married to him and had his children and happy.Hear I am a piece of decay, getting old and not very wise.Sometimes I wish I haven't been born.I wish I could see her again.If I meet Emily now I won't even know how to greet her.I will have to greet her with silence and tears.Oh My God! What a rambling old fool I am running away from the only woman I ever loved.Its my own wickedness.I am paying for it.My heart in constant pain from sorrow.I wish I haven't live.Maybe I deserve all this pain and unhappiness for I have forsaken my own true love."
He drinks from his wisky bottle and stagger about in the garden.Jason enters.
Jason--"Out in the cold on your own there Steve.I've been looking in the studio for you.I got something important to talk to you.Why don't we go inside."
They both walk towards the house.
Scene change Jason and Steve sit in the studio.
Jason--"Something strange had happen in the art exhibition yesterday.A lady claim that one of your paintings is an exact portriat of her and she want to know your identity Steve."
Steve--"Who is she?What is she looks like?"
Jason--"Her name is Emily and she looks like the woman in your painting.She is demanding to know who you are? She want to see you in person."
Steve--"I don't want to reveal myself to any one.Have you told her her who I am?"
Jason--"No but she is very persistant.I cannot keep her in the dark for much longer.I might have to tell her the truth sooner or later."
Steve--"My past is catching up with me Jason.I know who she is now.She is the girl who I have treated when I was a practicing psychriatist.She is in love with me and I am in love with her too but I cannot give into temptation.We are doctor and patient you know.So I decided to run away as far as I can from her.Now I am paying for my sins."
Jason--"You have your problems.I have mine.My problem is to get myself established as a gallery owner and and a successfull art dealer.I need a lot of investment for that."
Steve--"What do you mean?"
Jason--"I mean I need more money.I need to have 50% commision from the sales I made from your works and the right to sell any of your works if I feel like it."
Steve--"Don't you think its a bit unfair Jason.I have treated you fair all these years and the usual commision for the agents is 20% of the sales."
Jason--"Of course but yours is an exceptional case.I have to keep your identity secret.Don't you think its worth to give me more to keep my mouth shut."
Steve--"I don't care much about money Jason but I always treated you fairly and I expect you to do the same."
Jason--"Thats your problem Steve.You want to be Mr Right all the time.If you don't accept my proposal I will have to reveal your true identy to Emily."
Steve--"Thats sound like blackmail Jason.How could you do that to me?"
Jason--"You don't have a lot of choice Steve.You give what I asked for or Emily will be here knocking at your door soon."
Steve--"Do what ever you want but I am not goiing to move an inch from where I stand.I can find another agent."
Jason--"Its that final word from you."
Steve--"You can take it as my final word.I don't want to see your face any more."
Jason--"The feeling is mutual.You can expect the girl to come knocking at your door soon."
Exit Jason.Curtain falls.......

Dreaming Of Spring.--Act 5--Scene 2.
The scene is still the art exhibition in Leeds.Jason is talking to visitors as usual.He feels thirsty and take a sip of wine from the glass in hand. Emily approach him through the crowd.
Emily--"Hello, is it Jason isn't it?Will you be kind enough to tell me about a painting I have just bought."
Jason look at Emily and smile and said."It would be my pleasure young lady,just show me the painting."
Emily--"Its over there.The one called "She's a Lady" its a portriat."
Jason--"Lets go over there shall we?"
They both move to the other corner of the room where the painting is hanged on the wall.Looking at the portriat and then to Emily, Jason looks very bewildered and he keep looking back and forth from painting to Emily several times.
Emily--"It look exactly like me isn't it."
Jason--"The resemblance is remarkable.Although the girl in the painting looks a lot younger than you."
Emily--"Actually she look like me twenty years ago.Thats why I want to know the artist who painted it.He couldn't have painted this from his imagination.I believe he is someone that I have known in the past.Can you help me find the artist Robert Winters for me?"
Jason--"It could be done but if I found him will you be happy to pay my expences."
Emily--"What do you mean by expenses?I thought you already knew him."
Jason--"I only know him by name not in person.I might have to track him down to find where he lives.These artists are very unreliable characters."
Emily--"Please find him for me.If it is money you want.I am willing to give you."
Jason--"You sound desperate.In that case I will but don't say I don't warn you of the cost.I will need a preliminary payment of £10,000 to start with."
Emily--"I will have to consult with my aunt and the bank manager as well how much funds I got left in the bank and let you know."
Jason--"I will start the job when I recieved the cash in my hands."
Emily--"Hello, is it Jason isn't it?Will you be kind enough to tell me about a painting I have just bought."
Jason look at Emily and smile and said."It would be my pleasure young lady,just show me the painting."
