Yes--I was looking at my knights--thinking how like Sir Humphrey is to them. Do you know, he's never seen me since the day I left his house? I've tried to get at him a dozen times, but he won't give me a chance of explaining myself. He sees one side of the shield and won't look at the other. (LUCY: I know he was very much annoyed with you.) You must have thought my conduct very strange. (LUCY: I did.) I owe you an explanation as well as Sir Humphrey. You remember my telling you my married life was a failure?
