[Violently.] Oh, it’s maddening. Always, always, there’s that stone wall in front of me. Whatever is, is good. However cruel and unjust a custom is, no one must touch it because it’s a custom. If a law is infamous, does it become any less infamous because people have suffered from it for a dozen generations?
Mrs. Insoley.
Perhaps you’re not very competent to judge matters of this sort, my dear.
Archibald.
I’m afraid your sympathy is rather wasted in this particular case. Peggy Gann isn’t a very deserving young woman.
Grace.
If she were, there’d be no need for me to plead for her.
Mrs. Insoley.
On those lines the more of a hussy a girl is the more she’s deserving of sympathy.
