So they don't know about you. That's all right. Now, look here, I serve my employer. But I'm flesh and blood, too, and I always give as good as I get. I hate this family of yours. There's no name too bad for 'em to call me this last month, and no looks too black to give me. I tell you frankly, I hate. (CHLOE: There's good in them same as in you.) (With a grin) There's no good Hornblower but a dead Hornblower. (CHLOE: But--but Im not one.) You'll be the mother of some, I shouldn't wonder.
