"I've told you already that he has let me in for engagements that I cannot meet if he goes back on his word."
"I see. And you want to make it unpleasant for him. As unpleasant as you possibly can?"
"I can make it even more unpleasant for him, Miss Madden, than it is for me."

"I think so. If, for instance, I chose to tell somebody what happened the other day, what you saw yourself."
"Did I see anything?"
"You can't deny that you saw something you were not meant to see."
"You mean Wednesday afternoon? Well, if Mr. Waddington chose to say that
I saw you in a bad fit of hysterics I shouldn't deny that."
"I see. You're well posted, Miss Madden."
"I am, rather. But supposing you told everybody in the place he was caught making love to you, what good would it do you?"
