Olivia. You never told me, darling. What's Brian been doing?
Dinah (indignantly). He hasn't been doing anything.
George (round to foot of table L.C.). He's one of your Socialists who go turning the country upside down.
Olivia. But even Socialists must get married sometimes.
George (crossing below Olivia to fireplace). I don't see any necessity.
Olivia. But you'd have nobody to damn after dinner, darling, if they all died out.
Brian (coming a little C.). Really, sir, I don't see what my politics and my art have got to do with it. I'm perfectly ready not to talk about either when I'm in your house, and as Dinah doesn't seem to object to them——
Dinah (moving towards Brian and championing him). I should think she doesn't.
George. Oh, you can get round the women, I daresay.
Brian. Well, it's Dinah I want to marry and live with. So what it really comes to is that you don't think I can support a wife.
