Sydney. When it’s a man you can.

Kit. My dear girl, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Sydney. My dear boy, if a girl finds out that it’s not right for her to marry a man, it’s up to her to choke him off.

Kit. Rot!

Sydney. Well, I think so.

Kit. Couldn’t be done.

Sydney. Couldn’t it just?

Kit. Any man would see through it.

Sydney. As if any man ever saw through anything! As if I couldn’t choke you off in five minutes if I wanted to!

Kit. I’d like to see you try!
