From A Family Man : in three acts by John Galsworthy

male · defiant · 50 sec

Well, I can eat a good deal this morning. It's all nonsense! A family's a family. (MAUD: Father, if I were you, I wouldn't-really! It's not-dignified.) You can leave me to judge of that. It's not dignified for the Mayor of this town to have an unmarried daughter as young as Athene living by herself away from home. This idea that she's on a visit won't wash any longer. Now finish that letter--"worthy, but you may rest assured that I shall do my best to sustain the--er--dignity of the office." (MAUD types desperately.) Got that? "And--er--preserve the tradition so worthily--" No-- "so staunchly"--er--er-- (MAUD: Upheld.) Ah! "--upheld by yourself.--Faithfully yours."
