Susan: Did you have many ordeals before you became a success?
Richard Nugent: No, I...
Susan: You can talk to me. I want you to think of me, not as a newspaper woman, but as a friend.
Richard Nugent: Well, in that case, I'll tell you. I did suffer. When I was 10, my mother and father had a double suicide pack, they made it. I was sent to an orphanage. Some days they didn't beat me. Then one night I escaped, I ran away to New York. I used to steal.
Susan: What did you steal?
Richard Nugent: Beg your pardon?
Susan: What did you steal?
Richard Nugent: Crusts of bread... and things. One time I stole a valise. There were paints and paintbrushes inside. So I began to paint. Then they got me. I was sent to a reform school, but I escaped again.
Susan: Go on.

Susan: How Wonderful. How terribly wonderful.
