Sir John. Yes, my love.
Lady Caroline. I think you had better come over here, John. It is more sheltered.
Sir John. I am quite comfortable, Caroline.
Lady Caroline. I think not, John. You had better sit beside me. [Sir John rises and goes across.]
Lady Stutfield. And what have you been writing about this morning, Mr. Kelvil?
Kelvil. On the usual subject, Lady Stutfield. On Purity.
Lady Stutfield. That must be such a very, very interesting thing to write about.
Kelvil. It is the one subject of really national importance, nowadays, Lady Stutfield. I purpose addressing my constituents on the question before Parliament meets. I find that the poorer classes of this country display a marked desire for a higher ethical standard.
Lady Stutfield. How quite, quite nice of them.
Lady Caroline. Are you in favour of women taking part in politics, Mr. Kettle?
