MAGGIE. It’s every man’s birthright, and you would have it now but for me.

JOHN. I can do without, Maggie.

MAGGIE. It’s like missing out all the Saturdays.

JOHN. You feel sure, I suppose, that an older man wouldn’t suit you better, Maggie?

MAGGIE. I couldn’t feel surer of anything. You’re just my ideal.

JOHN. Yes, yes. Well, that’s as it should be.

[She threatens him again.]

MAGGIE. David has the document. It’s carefully locked away.

JOHN. He would naturally take good care of it.
