Mrs. Dot: A Farce

by W. Somerset Maugham

You’ve come to the conclusion that the cut of her skirt’s all right.

Mrs. Dot.

Ah, you mustn’t recall what I said when I was in a temper. You know, I’m rather touched by her obvious affection for you.

Gerald.

It’s very good of you to say so.

Mrs. Dot.

It’s so nice to see two people head over ears in love with one another.

Gerald.

I wouldn’t be so presumptuous as to think Nellie was so much in love with me as all that.

Mrs. Dot.
