HERBERT Quite the most amusing man I ever met!
GEOFFREY And not afraid of being honest. Do you remember his
answer when somebody asked him what he would do if Socialism, by
any chance, really became established in England? He had just
married an American heiress. He said he should emigrate. I am
still convinced that woman is entitled to equal political rights
with man. I didn't think it was coming in my time. There are
points in the problem remaining to be settled before we can arrive
at a working solution. This is one of them. [He takes up the
letter and reads.] "Are you prepared to have as your
representative a person who for six months out of every year may be
incapacitated from serving you?" It's easy enough to say I
oughtn't to allow my supporters to drag in the personal element. I
like it even less myself. But what's the answer?
[JAWBONES enters with a tray.]
JAWBONES [Places tray on table.] Tea's coming in a minute, sir.
[He is clearing away.]
GEOFFREY Never mind all that.
