Say of the disreputable for the respectable, if you like, Mrs. Parbury.
Mrs. Parbury.
Thank you. That quite expresses my present opinion. Of course it is in your power at least to modify it.
Gunning.
I should be grateful if you would show me the way.
Mrs. Parbury.

Gunning.
’Pon my word, I am. [Mrs. Parbury raises her hand protestingly.] No, but really—I assure you, dear Mrs. Parbury—I’m not nearly such a bad fellow as you think. What can I do?
Mrs. Parbury.
