Oh! I'm not complaining. I'm so relieved she didn't write those dreadful cookery articles. (HILDEGARDE: But do you mean to say you aren't frightfully shocked by my advanced politics, mamma?) My child, how naïve you are, after all! A woman is never shocked, though of course at times it may suit her to pretend to be. Only men are capable of being shocked. As for your advanced politics, as you call them, can't you see that it doesn't matter what you write so long as you are admired by the best people. It isn't views that are disreputable, it's the persons that hold them.
