FRIENDLY CREATURE. Do women always have new hats? Women have new hats. New women have hats. FRIENDLY CREATURE. Don't call me a woman, ducky; I'm a lady. YOU. I must be careful. If I don't flatter you, you'll take your umbrella away. There's Matilda. YOU. Where? FRIENDLY CREATURE. Coming towards us in that landaulette. YOU. Looks fit, doesn't she? FRIENDLY CREATURE. Her! She's a blooming rotter.
I can't make light of things to your people, but I can take part of the blame on myself. If it is true that I have any influence over you, I have thrown it away..."

He suddenly fell on his knees by her side. "Please forgive me, Ellen!" he cried, almost sobbing himself. "Please forgive me for being such a rotter. I'll never I promise that I'll never do anything of the sort again." She looked up. He ventured to put his arm around her waist. She shook herself free, very weakly. He tried again and with success. "I know I've made an idiot of myself," he went on.
