But what did you like in him—because he was good-looking, and strong, and that?
MRS. HOLROYD
I liked that as well. But if a man makes a nuisance of himself, his good looks are ugly to you, and his strength loathsome. Do you think I care about a man because he's got big fists, when he is a coward in his real self?

Is he a coward?
MRS. HOLROYD
He is—a pettifogging, paltry one.
BLACKMORE
And so you've really done with him?
