C.-C. How very unfortunate! because I liked you, I like you now, and I shall continue to like you.
Lady Kitty. There’s something very nice about you, Clive.
Porteous. If you think that, why the devil did you leave him?
Lady Kitty. Are you going to reproach me because I loved you? How utterly, utterly, utterly detestable you are!
C.-C. Now, now, don’t quarrel with one another.
Lady Kitty. It’s all his fault. I’m the easiest person in the world to live with. But really he’d try the patience of a saint.
C.-C. Come, come, don’t get upset, Kitty. When two people live together there must be a certain amount of give and take.
Porteous. I don’t know what the devil you’re talking about.
C.-C. It hasn’t escaped my observation that you are a little inclined to frip. Many couples are. I think it’s a pity.
