MRS. LUNN. Stuff! I was born in Gibraltar. My father was Captain Jenkins. In the artillery.
JUNO [ardently] It is climate and not race that determines the temperament. The fiery sun of Spain blazed on your cradle; and it rocked to the roar of British cannon.
MRS. LUNN. What eloquence! It reminds me of my husband when he was in love before we were married. Are you in love?
JUNO. Yes; and with the same woman.
MRS. LUNN. Well, of course, I didn't suppose you were in love with two women.
JUNO. I don't think you quite understand. I meant that I am in love with you.
MRS. LUNN [relapsing into deepest boredom] Oh, that! Men do fall in love with me. They all seem to think me a creature with volcanic passions: I'm sure I don't know why; for all the volcanic women I know are plain little creatures with sandy hair. I don't consider human volcanoes respectable. And I'm so tired of the subject! Our house is always full of women who are in love with my husband and men who are in love with me. We encourage it because it's pleasant to have company.
JUNO. And is your husband as insensible as yourself?
MRS. LUNN. Oh, Gregory's not insensible: very far from it; but I am the only woman in the world for him.
JUNO. But you? Are you really as insensible as you say you are?
