From East of Suez: A Play in Seven Scenes by W. Somerset (William Somerset) Maugham

Freedom is a very good thing, Daisy. (DAISY: What should I do with it?) Wouldn't you like to be free now? (She looks at him sharply. She wonders if it can possibly be that he suspects her passion for George Conway. He meets her glance steadily.) One day Sen Shi Ming was sitting with his wife looking at a Tang bronze that he had just bought when he heard someone in the street crying for help. Sen Shi was a very brave man and he snatched up a revolver and ran out. Sen Shi forgot that he had cheated his brother out of a house in Hatamen Street or he would have been more prudent. Sen Shi was found by the watchman an hour later with a dagger in his heart. Who killed cock-robin? (AMAH: Hi, hi. Sen Shi velly silly man.) His brother knew that. They had grown up together. If I heard cries for help outside my house late in the night, I should ask myself who had a grudge against me, and I should make sure the door was bolted. But white men are very brave. White men don't know the Chinese customs. Would you be very sorry if an accident happened to your excellent husband?
