Let us hope for the best.
Arthur.
I've noticed that whenever anyone wants to see me very urgently it's never to give me anything. When Christina wants to see me urgently my only safety is in instant flight.
Violet.
You must be nice to her, Arthur. If you're not she'll only take it out of me.
Arthur.
It's monstrous, isn't it?
Violet.
After all, she kept house for you for ten years. Admirably, mind you.
Arthur.
