S - Mrs Satterthwaite

V - Valentine Wannop

W - Mr. Waterhouse

W: Oh, Miss Wannop! Do you know Mrs Satterthwaite?

V: How do you do?

W: She is our friend Tietjens's mother-in-law.

S: Oh, is that my fame? You know Christopher?

V: Hardly, but I did meet Mr Tietjens last year in Rye. I haven't seen him since. Actually, this tea is for my mother, and I mustn't inflict myself on Mr Waterhouse with my inferior mind and my general incapacity for anything much except motherhood. So, if you'll excuse me.

W: That's not at all what I...

S: Oh, that's my first suffragette!

--: Got it! You're Tietjens's feminist! If you're thinking of starting something... I've a good mind to smack your bare bottom!

V: I'm sure you think of little else.

--: You have a nerve showing your face here. I know you're Tietjens's whore. You're all gasping for it, you militant bitches!

V: How dare you say something about a man you're not fit to serve as a boot-boy?

--: About him? Good God, the girl's in love!
