HORNBLOWER. That you, my dear, were a woman—it's too shockin—I don't know how to tell ye——

HORNBLOWER. Were a woman that went with men, to get them their divorce.
CHLOE. Who says that?
HORNBLOWER. That lady [Sneering] there, and her bull-terrier here.
CHLOE. [Facing MRS. HILLCRIST] That's a charitable thing to say, isn't it?
MRS. H. Is it true?
CHLOE. No.
HORNBLOWER. [Furiously] There! I'll have ye both on your knees to her!
