Christine.[Looks at the glass which stands half empty on the table.] Did you drink together as well?

John. Yes.

Christine. Ugh! Look me in the face.

John. Yes.

Christine. Is it possible? Is it possible?

John.[After reflecting for a short time.] Yes, it is.

Christine. Crikey! I’d never have thought it, that I wouldn’t. No. Ugh! Ugh!

John. I take it you’re not jealous of her?

Christine. No, not of her; if it had been Clara or Sophie, yes, I should have been. Poor girl! Now, I tell you what. I won’t stay any longer in this house, where one can’t keep any respect for the gentry.

John. Why should one respect them?
