Baroness. Exactly. That is why I have chosen you to write my advertisements.
Pendleton [aghast]. But, Baroness!
Baroness. You're not going to say that. It's so ordinary.
Pendleton. But, but, you want me to write advertisements!
Baroness. Please don't disappoint me.
Pendleton. Yes, I suppose that's so. But one has a sense of pride.
Baroness. Art comes before Pride. Consider my feelings, an aristocrat, coming here to America and engaging in commerce, and advertising, and other dreadful things, and all for the sake of Art!
Pendleton. But you make money out of it!
Baroness. Only incidentally. Just as you, in writing my advertisements, would make, say ten thousand or so, as a sort of accident. But don't let us talk of money. It's perfectly revolting, isn't it? Art is Life, and I believe in Life for Art's sake. That's why I'm a success.
Pendleton. Indeed? How interesting. Please go on.
