(SOPHY: Oh, my lord, recollect, she's not much more than a girl!) No, she is not much more than a girl; but you--though you and she are of the same age-- you are a woman. You know your world, upstairs and downstairs, boudoir and kitchen. Yet you own you have encouraged her in this, made her clandestine meetings with this penniless beggar possible.
