Leslie.

I can’t think of it!

Irene.

Be silent! I have the world upon my side—what is your girl’s voice against the world! I shall have money and a title—I shall have satisfied my mother at last. Why should you make it harder for me by even a word?

Leslie.

I want to save you from sharing this man’s hideous disgrace.

Irene.
