From Waste: A Tragedy, In Four Acts by Harley Granville-Barker

(FRANCES: We must think what's best to be done... now... and for the future.) Why, I could go on earning useless money at the Bar... think how nice that would be. I could blackmail the next judgeship out of Horsham. I think I could even smash his Disestablishment Bill... and perhaps get into the next Liberal Cabinet and start my own all over again, with necessary modifications. I shan't do any such things. (FRANCES: No one knows about you and poor Amy?) Half a dozen friends. Shall I offer to give evidence at the inquest this morning?
