Lady Marden. One's solicitor will know all about that, of course.
Brian. And when the marriage has been annulled, what then?
Lady Marden. Presumably Olivia will return to her husband.
Brian (bitterly to Lady Marden). And that's morality! As expounded by Bishop Landseer!
George (angered, rising and facing Brian). I don't know what you mean by Bishop Landseer. Morality is acting in accordance with the Laws of the Land and the Laws of the Church. I am quite prepared to believe that your creed embraces neither marriage (Dinah gives a little cry and bangs a cushion on settee angrily) nor monogamy, but my creed is different.
Brian (fiercely). My creed includes both marriage and monogamy, and monogamy means sticking to the woman you love, as long as she wants you.
Lady Marden (calmly). You suggest that George and Olivia should go on living together, although they have never been legally married. Bless the man, what do you think the County would say?
Brian (scornfully). Does it matter?
Dinah. Well, if you really want to know, the men would say, "Gad, she's a fine woman; I don't wonder he sticks to her," and the women would say, "I can't think what he sees in her to stick to her like that," and they'd both say, "After all, he may be a damn fool, but you can't deny he's a sportsman."
(Lady Marden is very indignant.)
