[Crying.] What a silly woman I’ve been, Brooke!
Brooke Twombley.
We’re all thoughtless at times.
Lady Twombley.
If I had but pulled in when pa’s Irish rents began to dwindle!
Brooke Twombley.
Why didn’t you, Mater?
Lady Twombley.
I don’t know, but I didn’t, I only prayed for better times and ordered Gillow to refurnish the dining-room. Last season I got through eighteen thousand pounds!
