From Getting Married by Bernard Shaw

Yes; but there isnt another. Besides, do you suppose I think, at my time of life, that the difference between one decent sort of man and another is worth bothering about? (THE GENERAL: The heart has its preferences, Lesbia. One image, and one only, gets indelibly--) Yes. Excuse my interrupting you so often; but your sentiments are so correct that I always know what you are going to say before you finish. You see, Boxer, everybody is not like you. You are a sentimental noodle: you dont see women as they really are. You dont see me as I really am. Now I do see men as they really are. I see you as you really are. THE GENERAL (murmuring) No: dont say that, Lesbia.
