Mrs. Dot: A Farce

by W. Somerset Maugham

He’s not really very clever, you know.

Mrs. Dot.

Of course he isn’t. He’s as stupid as an owl. I’ve told him so till I’m blue in the face.

Aunt Eliza.

And he’s not really very good-looking, is he?

Mrs. Dot.

On the contrary, I think he’s rather plain.

Aunt Eliza.

I suppose you find him amusing?

Mrs. Dot.
