ah I was thinking of myself few I would

have asked you to marry

me anyway yours is a grand position I

envy you it's something for the

propheter daughter to have turned down a

Duke

George many years ago there was a

butcher shop an August person passing it

one day was not attracted by the meat in

the shop but by the butcher's wife the

butcher with an ambitious eye to a

Knighthood encouraged him to pass it

frequently with the result he became a

baronet the butcher's wife was also

encouraged she acquired an ambition so

she left the butcher with the result a

son was born a

Duke so far as I can see the only

difference between our families is my

father only propheter in

pickles yeah

George dear I hope I shall always know

you

darling is he making tea I told him to

bring it ages ago thought you were going

for a walk George and I decided that as

the son had gone and as it was very

comfortable here we

embarrassing and you might realize it

yes I I know and I'm sorry I brought you

here for the purpose of finding out as

you know that if we married would there

be a chance of us both being happy yes

quite and now I would like to say pleas

be quiet

sorry when I left London I liked you

very much I almost believed that you

possessed qualities that would endear

yourself to me I know but I had no idea

Richard how nice you really are what did

you say what I was going to say when you

interrupted me was that you are a

thousand times nicer than I thought you

were no one minute and would you please

give me one minute whilst I finish what

I was going to say go on and I'm not

only going to marry you what but oh stop

interrupting you're irritating me very

much but to prove to you how much I

trust you I'm going to settle £5,000 a

year on you for

life are you pleased

pleased I'm

delighted ah and I thought I'd been

irritating you to death all this time I

I almost believed that you disliked me

you'd no idea how miserable I've been

why well you were so um so intolerant so

so horri to me horri to you what are you

talking about I've never been so nice to

anyone in my life before oh now one

moment now let's sort this out now you

know you did everything you could to

provoke me to see if I was bad tempered

or not what do you mean I wouldn't

Ascend to anything so mean oh nonsense

you know you did you to nag the life out

of me see if I'd answer you back and a

thousand other things you did what are

you talking

about you don't mean to say that this

has been RAR you all the time of course

are you mad Richard well then this is

how you'd be if we were married of

course

Heavens be praised what for how much did

you say you'd settle on me Mariah 5,000

a year my income is 300 a year and I

know what it is to feel a millionaire

are you insulting me Richard how long

did your late husband live with you Mara

18 years what a man what a

constitution how dare you speak to me

like that if you'd had the slightest

idea how you've spoken to me during the

last 3 weeks you'd be sympathetic

but I dear double that 5,000 treble that

5,000 give me every Shilling you have in

the world and the answer would be no I

have never been so degraded in all my

life when I came away with you I thought

of you as I've always thought of you one

of the nicest women in the world the

only woman I've ever liked but obviously

I've never known you at all these last

three weeks have made me realize that

you are not and never have been one of

the things I thought you you Beast go

away before I go Mara there is one other

thing I would like to

say may God bless you for your

thoughtfulness and kindness to

me right darling what's the

matter calm yourself what is it

made me

cry The Brute and for the first time in

your life darling I'm get to my room I

couldn't bear the Beast to come in and

find he' been able to make me

cry Richard has she gone yes are you

sure where's George sitting in the

kitchen stunned by the shock you gave

him mari's lying on her bed in the same

condition if anyone had told you and me

three weeks ago I wouldn't have believed

them surely there must be deep down

something rather nice about George for

me to ever have been able to like him as

much as I

did I suppose there must be about

Mariah spoiled from the day of his birth

to make him a decent man he needs six

months before the master as a common

sailor alone with

Mariah is there no way Richard we could

do that for

there must

be let's

think darling you're losing control of

yourself again again I I could scream

the house down why don't you might do

you good how dare you stay here tonight

there's no train until 6:00 in the

morning surely you don't expect him to

wait all night on a cold Railway

platform do you yes I do nonsense

besides it's not as though they were

annoying you by being in the same room

they sitting quietly together in the

kitchen listen not a sound you wouldn't

dare they were even in the house and

Richard will be gone by five to think

that I brought the brute here to find

out if I like him and he has the

audacity the moment I tell him I do to

tell me he doesn't like me outrageous

but wasn't that the idea what do you

mean I didn't bring him here to find out

if he likes me no silly of me anyway I

don't know which of us is the luier I to

have lost the vulgar man or you to have

discovered in time that you were anxious

to marry A congenital idiot George isn't

entirely an idiot yes he is the word

idiot is written in block letters all

over his

face who asked you to come in here no

one but I have the alternative of being

with two extremely unpleasant women in

here or one strong silent man in there

have you quarreled with Richard since he

ticked off Mariah he's become so

conceited there's no holding him he

boosting that he tick me off as you call

it

naturally I ask the sort of things he's

been saying about me he says he's going

to dedicate his life from now on to

making you into a decent woman and he

says he's discovered the way to do it

how dare he say such a thing I agree but

he says it can be done let me tell you

one thing if ever I see you again after

you leave here at 5:00 tomorrow morning

and you even dare speak to me I'll cut

you

publicly if I ever speak to you again

Mariah I hope that everyone Cuts me

publicly oh how can you laugh at that

horrid man I'm not laughing darling I

was shocked at his

impertinence Mrs whistl may I have the

key to the alcohol cupboard no you may

not very well but then may heaven have

mercy on

you you villain what's he done he stood

out in the hall I thinking he'd found a

place to avoid some of the drafts when I

discovered he was merely there to listen

to your conversation in here
