Geoffrey. Do you know why we have never had a difference? Because you have always had your own way.
Annys. Oh!
Geoffrey. You have got so used to it, you don’t notice it.
Annys. Then it will be good for me. I must learn to suffer opposition. (She laughs.)
Geoffrey. You won’t like it.
Annys. Do you know, I’m not at all sure that I shan’t. (Unconsciously they let loose of one another.) You see, I shall have the right of hitting back. (Again she laughs.)
Geoffrey. (Also laughingly.) Is woman going to develop the fighting instinct?
Annys. I wonder.
(A moment’s silence.)
Geoffrey. The difficulty in our case is there seems nothing to fight about.
