My husband is openlyunfaithful to me and cannot
take you into court if you make love tome. I was great: the money mademe great: I
tell you I was drunk with it: I was another man. No good ever comes out of banks for
the likes of us. It is much more luxurious than this hideous coffee room,and more
private.
But I have my little bit of genius too; and she

You sweat yourself; you sweat yourwife; you sweat
those women in there; you live on sweat.
Youare worse than Alastair; for he at least could
talk about boxingand tennis. Imust have sprained my wrist throwing that beast all

ofadventure in this den? A mind mate with whom he couldbe thoroughly comfortable.
She looks at the pair; then looks round her; then goesto the curtain and looks
through. I will sell out my insurance and giveit to you.
You couldnt divorce him unless he chose to let you.
Oh no, maam: nobody could call that slavery. In that case you will have no
difficulty in finding anEnglish doctor.
You would scream the house down if your wrist
weresprained.
I shall take a job as scullery maid at a hotelto
fill up my time.
