Jack (with provoking mirth). Kent, if you please! But why not? I am a socialist, of course, and I know that the world is not yet prepared for socialism. But we are only children as yet, and this is still the twentieth century. When we reach the twenty-first and become of age it will be time to talk about that.
Gloria. You are Kathryn's first cousin.
Jack. I would be if I weren't adopted, Gloria.
Gloria. Your mother! (Enter Jane.)
Jack. Gloria was asking of my mother, Jane. It is one of those impossible questions to answer, and possibly why she asked.
Jane. Have you ever thought of your mother, Jack?
Jack. Oh, I remember my mother. I was adopted almost before I was born and yet—
Jane. What was she like, dear?
Jack. Like no one else in the world, Jane. It's hard to be sure of course, but I think she must have been just the one woman who never could grow fat.
Jane. At least I am not fat, Jack.
