Well-well! Look here, old girl! It's my experience never to--what I mean is--never to trust too much to a man who has to do with mining. I've always refused to have anything to do with mines. If your husband were in England, of course, I'd say nothing. (MRS. GWYN: We'd better keep him out of the question, had n't we?) Of course, if you wish it, my dear. (MRS. GWYN: Unfortunately, I do.) (Nervously.) Ah! yes, I know; but look here, Molly, your aunt thinks you're in a very delicate position-in fact, she thinks you see too much of young Lever.
