But you don't care to be
reminded
of old lies?
Kipling - Poems

end on my side. That's all. Mafisch!
Mrs. H. "That's all. Mafisch! " As though I were a Cairene Dragoman. You
used to make prettier speeches. D'you remember when you said? --
Capt. G. For Heaven's sake don't bring that back! Call me anything you
like and I'll admit it--
Mrs. H.
But you don't care to be reminded of old lies? If I could
hope to hurt you one-tenth as much as you have hurt me tonight--No, I

Mrs. H. My dear Sir, you flatter yourself. You have lied over the

have been everything to me, though you are--(Fan-guard. ) Oh, what a
contemptible Thing it is! And so you are merely tired of me?
Capt. G. Since you insist upon my repeating it--Yes.
