(Bitterly, withdrawing the chair a little further from the table.) Yes, I agree with you--there is an element of wofulness in this meeting; it is not altogether without pathos. (DUCHESS: Not altogether!) (Sitting, facing her.) But, for yourself, my dear Sidonia--well, I have the consolation of believing that directly you turn your back upon Fauncey Court much of the wofulness of your position will evaporate. (DUCHESS: Harry!) Forgive me--you admit that you delight in colouring even the most ordinary events of life rather highly. If I may put it more roughly, you are disposed, my dear Sidonia--at times, perhaps, a little inopportunely--to burn a good deal of red fire. (Leaning forward.) At any rate, I beg an especial favour of you to-night.
