From Loyalties by John Galsworthy

female · contemplative · 1:00 min

There isn't the slightest connection, so far as I can see, Mabel, between innocence and reputation. Look at me! (MABEL: We'll fight it tooth and nail!) Mabel, you're pure wool, right through; everybody's sorry for you. (MABEL: It's for him they ought--) (Again handing the cigarette case) Do smoke, old thing. MABEL takes a cigarette this time, but does not light it. It isn't altogether simple. General Canynge was there last night. You don't mind my being beastly frank, do you?
