lord john. I have avoided this subject.
sarah. With him, yes.
lord john. Oh! . . . why did I desert the army for politics?
sarah. Better fighting.
lord john. It sat so nobly upon him . . . the leaving us for conscience sake when we were strongly in power. Strange that six months later we should be turned out.
sarah. Papa was lucky.
lord john. But this second time . . . ?
sarah. Listen. This is very much a private quarrel with Mr. Pitt, who hates Papa . . . gets rid of him.
lord john. Shall I betray a confidence?
sarah. Better not.
