Thank
Goodness
it isn't.
Kipling - Poems
(Aside.
) It only remains to pray for the end of the dinner.
(Aloud. ) You know what I think of myself.
Mrs. H. As it's the only person in he world you ever do think of, and as
I know your mind thoroughly, I do. You want to get it all over and--Oh,
I can't keep you back! And you're going--think of it, Pip--to throw me
over for another woman. And you swore that all other women were--Pip,
my Pip! She can't care for you as I do. Believe me, she can't. Is it any
one that I know?
Capt. G.
Thank Goodness it isn't. (Aside. ) I expected a cyclone, but not
an earthquake.
Mrs. H. She can't! Is there anything that I wouldn't do for you--or
haven't done? And to think that I should take this trouble over you,
knowing what you are! Do you despise me for it?
Capt. G. (Wiping his mouth to hide a smile. ) Again? It's entirely a work
of charity on your part.
