Lady Kitty. What could you be? A nurse or a typist. It’s nonsense. Luxury saps a woman’s nerve. And when she’s known it once it becomes a necessity.
Elizabeth. That depends on the woman.
Lady Kitty. When we’re young we think we’re different from everyone else, but when we grow a little older we discover we’re all very much of a muchness.
Elizabeth. You’re very kind to take so much trouble about me.
Lady Kitty. It breaks my heart to think that you’re going to make the same pitiful mistake that I made.
Elizabeth. Oh, don’t say it was that, don’t, don’t.
Lady Kitty. Look at me, Elizabeth, and look at Hughie. Do you think it’s been a success? If I had my time over again do you think I’d do it again? Do you think he would?
Elizabeth. You see, you don’t know how much I love Teddie.
Lady Kitty. And do you think I didn’t love Hughie? Do you think he didn’t love me?
