Now, look here, Julia, you can't mean this seriously. You can't! Think of my position! You've never set yourself up against me before. (MRS BUILDER: But I do now.) (After staring at her) I've given you no real reason. I'll send the girl away. You ought to thank me for resisting a temptation that most men would have yielded to. After twenty-three years of married life, to kick up like this--you ought to be ashamed of yourself. (MRS BUILDER: I'm sure you must think so.) Oh! for heaven's sake don't be sarcastic! You're my wife, and there's an end of it; you've no legal excuse. Don't be absurd!
