C- Christopher Tietjens

S- Sylvia Satterthwaite

M- Sylvia's mother

Mac- MacMaster

 

Mac: Why do you look like that?

C: Because I'm waiting for my wife to wire me to fetch her home. And this is what I look like.

M: There are times when a woman hates a man, even a very good man, as my husband was. I have walked behind a man's back and nearly screamed with the desire to sink my nails into the veins¹ of his neck. And Sylvia's got it worse than I.

Father: If the woman, as the Church directs, would have children and live decent².

M: But Sylvia's had a child.

Father: Good God! Whose?! That blaggard Drake's, wasn't it?

M: It was probably Drake's.

S: I am here, you know! I am done with men. Think of all the ruin that child has meant for me.
