And I daresay he’ll have fifteen children. Those delicate men often do.... Why don’t you speak to Nellie now and get it over?
Gerald.
This very minute? With others in the room?
Lady Sellenger.
That’s just it, I want to give neither of you any opportunity for sentiment.
Gerald.
You’re certainly very practical.
Lady Sellenger.
No woman can afford to be sentimental when she has a marriageable daughter.... For heaven’s sake don’t make Nellie cry, we’re dining out to-night.
Gerald.
