“But it was your wish, too!”
“Only because you wished it. Be grateful to me now that you’ve got it!”
“Shall I be grateful because you leave the mother of your children alone with them while you spend your time at the public-house?”

“What have you got to do with my family? I haven’t married yours?”
“Because you didn’t think it good enough!”
“But mine was good enough for you. If they had been shoemakers, you wouldn’t mind so much.”
“You talk of shoemakers as if they were beneath your notice. Aren’t they human beings like everybody else?”
