Mrs. Dot: A Farce

by W. Somerset Maugham

You asked me if I loved you.

Mrs. Dot.

How absurd! And do you?

Gerald.

With all my heart, and I’ve loved you passionately from the first moment I saw you.

Mrs. Dot.

With never a day off?

Gerald.

With never a day off. I wanted to tell you every minute, and yet I couldn’t be such a cad.

Mrs. Dot.
