You've got no fault to find with Henry. He's a very good worker, he's honest, industrious, and painstaking.
Arthur.
You don't praise a pair of boots because you can walk in them without discomfort; if you can't you chuck them away.
Christina.
What d'you mean by that?
Arthur.
The qualities you mention really don't deserve any particular reward. If Henry hadn't got them I'd fire him without a moment's hesitation.
Christina.
I have no doubt you'd welcome the opportunity. It's the greatest misfortune of Henry's life that he happens to be your nephew.
Arthur.
