[Taking no notice of his remark.] And now surely you have nothing more to say to me.
George Winter.
[With a bland smile.] My dear, knowing how important it is to me that you should return to the conjugal roof, you don’t imagine I have come without some means to persuade you.
Catherine.

George Winter.
[In his most delightful manner.] You seem to be under the delusion it rests with you to make conditions.
Catherine.
