PAUL. And not at all, if I'd my way.
VIRGINIA. Not at all?
PAUL. Are you so set on towns?
VIRGINIA. I live in one.
PAUL. Yes, but I wonder why. It beats me why you and your mother want to live in ugliness with noise and bad air, Jenny. Where's the need for it?
VIRGINIA. Friends. Associations. That's all.
PAUL. You'd never want for friends anywhere.
VIRGINIA. But I've to think of mother. She's like an old tree, firmly rooted and she's hard to move. So we stay where we are.
PAUL. And you'll grow ill again.
VIRGINIA. Oh no. I shall be all right now.
