Everything's nothing this morning. Do you know what sort of people Athene associates with now--I suppose you see her? (MAUD: Sometimes.) Well? (MAUD: Nobody much. There isn't anybody here to associate with. It's all hopelessly behind the times.) Oh! you think so! That's the inflammatory fiction you pick up. I tell you what, young woman--the sooner you and your sister get rid of your silly notions about not living at home, and making your own way, the sooner you'll both get married and make it. Men don't like the new spirit in women--they may say they do, but they don't.
