From A Family Man : in three acts by John Galsworthy

male · dramatic · 57 sec

Now, look here, Athene. It's always been my way to face accomplished facts. What's done can't be undone; but it can be remedied. You must marry this young----at once, before it gets out. He's behaved like a ruffian: but, by your own confession, you've behaved worse. You've been bitten by this modern disease, this--this, utter lack of common decency. There's an eternal order in certain things, and marriage is one of them; in fact, it's the chief. Come, now. Give me a promise, and I'll try my utmost to forget the whole thing. (ATHENE: When we quarrelled, father, you said you didn't care what became of me.) I was angry. (ATHENE: So you are now.) Come, Athene, don't be childish! Promise me!
