Ste. So as you can do opposite, eh?
Lucy. Oh, that's unjust, father. I never disobeyed you in my life.
Ste, And you'd better not begin now, or you and I will fall out. Ha! So you're grown up, are you? Yes, you've been a legal woman for a week. Only I've been a legal man for thirty years and you'll allow I know the world better than you.
Lucy. Of course.
Ste. Oh, you do agree to that, do you?
Lucy. Certainly.
Ste. Well, I tell you you'll be throwing yourself away on young Montgomery..(Persuasively.) He's not up to your weight, Lucy. Polygon type, he is. You know, shove all your goods in the shop window. Live in a big house for swank and get it dirt cheap because the neighbourhood's gone down. They're not solid.. Lucy, you and I together could buy up the whole, crowd of swells to-morrow..
Lucy. I fell in love with Walter before I knew I'd a penny piece in the world. I don't think my money must make any difference.
Ste. Don't be silly. Money makes all differences. We're all born without pockets. It's pockets or no pockets that makes us rich or poor. Yesterday you didn't knew you'd a pocket and the Polygon looked big and young Montgomery, he looked big. I don't blame you. It looked a good thing.
Lucy. It looks the same to-day as it did yesterday.
