From The Title: A Comedy in Three Acts by Arnold Bennett

female · defiant · 51 sec

My self respect would not allow me to remain with a gentleman who had refused a title. Oh, Mr. Culver, to be the private secretary to a baronet has been my life's dream. And--and--I have just had the offer of a place where a peerage is in prospect. Still, I wouldn't have, taken even that if you had not--if you had not--(controlling herself, coldly). Kindly accept my notice. I give it at once because I shall have no time to lose for the peerage. (CULVER: Miss Starkey, you drive me to the old, old conclusion--all women are alike.) Then my leaving will cause you no inconvenience, because you'll easily get another girl exactly like me.
