kindly introduce me to this lady?

ST. HERBERT Ah, yes, of course. You don't know each other, do
you? Mr. Geoffrey Chilvers--Mrs. Joseph Spender. Mrs. Spender--
Mr. Chilvers, M.P.

ELIZABETH [Sweetly.] Delighted!

GEOFFREY [Not.] Charmed.

LADY MOGTON [To ANNYS.] I am not indifferent to your difficulty.
But the history of woman, my dear Annys, is a history of sacrifice.
We give our sons--if necessary, our husbands.

MRS. MOUNTCALM-VILLIERS [Affected.] How true!

ANNYS But you are not asking me to give him. You are asking me to
fight him. I can't.

LADY MOGTON You mean you won't.

ANNYS You can put it that way if you like. I won't.

[A pause.]

JANET I thought Mrs. Chilvers had pledged her word.

ELIZABETH Yes. But without her husband's consent. So, of course,
it doesn't count.
