- that would warrant the assumption of such superiority over the men you’re married to?
Mrs. Craig
- Nobody’s assuming any superiority.

- Don’t get yourself into a temper.
Craig
- That you don’t know what ’ud become of me only that you understand me.
Mrs. Craig (glancing through the portières)
- Neither I do.
Craig
- The presumption of you.
Mrs. Craig
- What are you standing there for, Mazie?
Mazie and Craig (speaking together)
- Mazie: Why, Mrs. Harold sent me in to see if you were coming in to dinner.
- Craig: That you should set yourself about to control the very destiny of a man,—
Mrs. Craig
- Yes, I’m coming right away.
Mrs. Craig and Craig (speaking together)
- Mrs. Craig: But I want to see you for a minute first, Mazie.
- Craig: As though I were some mental incompetent.
Mazie
- Yes, Ma’m.
Mrs. Craig (turning and going towards Craig, lowering her voice, and trying to silence him with a gesture)
