] What do you mean by it--
disgracing your sex?
LADY MOGTON Are you addressing me?
SIGSBY All of you. Upsetting the foundations upon which society
has been reared--the natural and lawful subjection of the woman to
the man. Why don't you read St. Paul?
LADY MOGTON St. Paul was addressing Christians. When men behave
like Christians there will be no need of Votes for Women. You read
St. Paul on men. [To JANET.] I shall want you!
[She goes out, followed by JANET.]
[SIGSBY gives vent to a gesture.]
JAWBONES Getting saucy, ain't they?
SIGSBY Over-indulgence. That's what the modern woman is suffering
from. Gets an idea on Monday that she'd like the whole world
altered; if it isn't done by Saturday, raises hell! Where's the
guv'nor?
JAWBONES Hasn't been here.
SIGSBY [Hands JAWBONES his damaged hat.] See if they can do
anything to that. If not, get me a new one. [He forks out a
sovereign.] Sure to be some shops open in the High Street. [LAMB
and ST. HERBERT enter.
