“She is the only good woman I have ever met in my life.
Cecil Graham. The only good woman you have ever met in your life?
Lord Darlington. Yes!
Cecil Graham. [Lighting a cigarette.] Well, you are a lucky fellow! Why, I have met hundreds of good women. I never seem to meet any but good women. The world is perfectly packed with good women. To know them is a middle-class education.
Lord Darlington. This woman has purity and innocence. She has everything we men have lost.
Cecil Graham. My dear fellow, what on earth should we men do going about with purity and innocence?”
