"Lay, old girl!"
"I say lie your burdens on my shoulders too. Was that what you promised me when we got married?"
"Don't make a scene, and don't let's have any of your logic! Go on! They were all here, mamma and your five sisters?"
"Four sisters! You don't care much for your family!"
"No more do you!"
"No more do I!"
"And they came here to condole with you on account of my brother's discharge? Is that so?"
"Yes! And they were impertinent enough to say that I had no longer any reason to be stuck up...."
"Proud, old girl!"
