Keep us respectable, O Lord,
whatever
happens.
Kipling - Poems
G.
I'm sure I don't know.
(To Khitmatgar.
) Ohe!
Simpkin do.
Mrs. H. You call yourself a man of the world, don't you? Do men of the
world behave like Devils when they do a woman the honor to get tired of
her?
Capt. G. I'm sure I don't know. Don't speak so loud!
Mrs. H.
Keep us respectable, O Lord, whatever happens. Don't be afraid
of my compromising you. You've chosen your ground far too well, and I've
been properly brought up. (Lowering fan. ) Haven't you any pity, Pip,
except for yourself?
Capt. G. Wouldn't it be rather impertinent of me to say that I'm sorry
for you?
Mrs. H. I think you have said it once or twice before. You're growing
very careful of my feelings. My God, Pip, I was a good woman once! You
said I was. You've made me what I am. What are you going to do with
me?
