Bertha Dorset : I wish the men would always stay away. It's really much nicer without them. Oh, you don't count, George. One never talks to one's husband.
Judy Trenor : But, wives never like their husbands talking to other women.
Bertha Dorset : Only if the women in question are slightly too eligible - or divorced.
George Dorset : Wives may do as they wish. Husbands are expected to be like money - influential, but silent.

Judy Trenor : Gus!
