From The 'Mind the Paint' Girl: A Comedy in Four Acts by Arthur Wing Pinero

female · sarcastic · 1:16 min

Reckoning our acquaintance from last week-- from the afternoon Bertie brought you here, when we scarcely spoke to one another-- you haven't known me for as many days as you can count on your fingers. (FARNCOMBE: I've watched you-- watched you in the theatre----) On the stage! Ho, ho! Oh, you-- but I mustn't call you silly boy again, must I! And what do you know of me, apart from the glimpse you've had of me off the stage, and my being a shining light at the Pandora? What do you know of my-- what's the word?-- origin-- where and what I've sprung from; how I was reared; how much education I've received; how much I've contrived to pick up of the way to behave in per lite society? You can judge from poor mother, if from nothing else, that I come from humble beginnings. Yes, but how humble you couldn't dream, (making a grimace) not after a supper of raw carrots!
