Elizabeth. Well, I want you to let me divorce you.
Arnold. [Astounded.] Me? Thank you very much. Are you under the impression I’m going to sacrifice my career for a whim of yours?
Elizabeth. How will it do that?
Arnold. My seat’s wobbly enough as it is. Do you think I’d be able to hold it if I were in a divorce case? Even if it were a put-up job, as most divorces are nowadays, it would damn me.
Elizabeth. It’s rather hard on a woman to be divorced.
Arnold. [With sudden suspicion.] What do you mean by that? Are you in love with some one?
Elizabeth. Yes.
Arnold. Who?
Elizabeth. Teddie Luton.
