“Without it we would become like our neighbours.
Lady Stutfield. That would be so, so sad, would it not?
Kelvil. I am afraid, too, that Lord Illingworth regards woman simply as a toy. Now, I have never regarded woman as a toy. Woman is the intellectual helpmeet of man in public as in private life. Without her we should forget the true ideals. [Sits down beside Lady Stutfield.]
Lady Stutfield. I am so very, very glad to hear you say that.
Lady Caroline. You a married man, Mr. Kettle?
Sir John.”
