MRS. BEN DIXON.
All the same to me, my dear, if he did. I can be as obstinate as he can. Your Aunt Bella's going to be your friend, and you can just lump it or like it—both of you.
MR. BEN DIXON.
Still you know, my dear, an independent spirit is a beautiful trait in anyone. I really don't think we ought to do anything to undermine it.
MRS. BEN DIXON.
Ah, your solicitors didn't talk like that to mine, Ben, when our marriage settlements were being discussed.
MR. BEN DIXON.
(To Ted.) Ah, that's the worst of women. They will always drag in the personal element.
MRS. BEN DIXON.
Now come, Ted. Don't you be an unkind nephew to your old aunt just because she's got no chicks of her own and wants to love you.
