MAGGIE. It’s so little I’ve done to help.
JOHN. Three hundred pounds.
MAGGIE. I’m getting a thousand per cent for it.
JOHN. And very pleased I am you should think so, Maggie.
MAGGIE. Is it terrible hard to you, John?
JOHN. It’s not hard at all. I can say truthfully, Maggie, that all, or nearly all, I’ve seen of you in these six years has gone to increase my respect for you.
MAGGIE. Respect!
JOHN. And a bargain’s a bargain.
MAGGIE. If it wasn’t that you’re so glorious to me, John, I would let you off.
