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

by Marie Carmichael Stopes

You have never once said no!

Nora.

I didn’t ask you what I didn’t say, but what I did say. And what did I say?

Gordon.

(Persuasively.) Say something different this time. You can’t always be cruel, with that sweet face you have.

Nora.

Oh, can’t I?

Gordon.

Don’t be, then.

Nora.
