I told her I'd have out any man who abused Diana Warwick, and I broke with her. By Jove! Redworth, those women can prove spitfires. They've bags of venom under their tongues, barley-sugar though they look and that's her colour. But I broke with her for good. I doubt if I shall ever call on her again.
