(Angry again.) Oh, is it! Well, the dirty little money you give me now only holds my tongue quiet so long's you behave yourself and don't run after any other girls! But the minute you try to throw me down, I'll come out with the whole story. (GEOFFREY: I was drunk when I married you!) More shame to you! (GEOFFREY: You're right. But I was only twenty--and you--led me on--) (Interrupting him.) Me! led you on! me, as decent and nice a girl as there was in New Haven if I do do housework, and that's my wedding ring and you put it there, and mother's got the certificate locked up good and safe in her box with my dead baby sister's hair and the silver plate off my father's coffin!
