You try me very much, Charlie. Please answer my question.
Mereston.
I don't want to seem unkind to you, mother, but I think you have no right to ask about my private affairs.
Fouldes.
If you're going to talk this matter over you're more likely to come to an understanding if you both keep your tempers.
Mereston.
There's nothing I wish to discuss.
Lady Mereston.
Don't be absurd, Charlie. You're with Lady Frederick morning, noon and night. She can never stir a yard from the hotel but you go flying after. You pester her with your ridiculous attentions.
Fouldes.
