Conquest; Or, A Piece of Jade; a New Play in Three Acts

by Marie Carmichael Stopes

(Robert and Loveday shake hands. Robert is evidently much impressed.)

Robert.

I’ll show her. (Goes over towards fire, and points to sheep enclosures at back.) Do you see those? That’s just the beginning of them. We have a rare good lot of sheep this year.

Loveday.

I am glad. We need everything good we can get this year.

Robert.

We need everything we can get every year.

Loveday.

But this year specially. There are so many people in England who need extra feeding and clothing. Your sheep will be useful.
