Excerpt from Sacred and Profane Love: A Play in Four Acts, Founded Upon the Novel of the Same Name
Mrs. Joicey and Louisa are talking together. A faint knocking is heard from the front door on the ground floor.
Mrs. Joicey. Bless us! Here they come! Now don't spill the lemonade. And do run down and open the door.
Mrs. Joicey and Louisa are talking together. A faint knocking is heard from the front door on the ground floor.
Mrs. Joicey. Bless us! Here they come! Now don't spill the lemonade. And do run down and open the door.
Louisa. Oh! [Begins to remove her apron.]
Mrs. Joicey. What are you taking that apron off for, Louisa?
Louisa. All the work's done. Why should I pretend to be a servant when I'm your sister?
Mrs. Joicey. Louisa, have I got to begin that all over again? A nice thing! As like as not Mr. Diaz would tell all his London friends that I can't afford a servant! I should never get another travelling concert party. It's cruel how things like that'll spread. It's just as much for your sake as mine. Don't I keep you? If I didn't I should be a lot better off than I am. Isn't as if I asked you to wear a cap as well. I don't.
Louisa. D'you know what he did as they went off to the concert?
Mrs. Joicey. [anxious about the door]. Who did? Mr. Diaz?
Louisa. No, the secretary.
Mrs. Joicey. What did he do?
