like to see Tony in trouble or unhappy or gettin’ his feelings hurt or anything in that line. . . .
Amy
[Dangerously]: Oh, wouldn’t you?
Joe
No. An’ it’s all up to you now. . . . An’ well, you see what a fine old fella he is, don’t you?
Amy
I ain’t been complaining about him that I remember. When I start in complaining there’ll be plenty of time then for outsiders to butt in and make remarks.
Joe
Don’t get sore.
Amy
[Fury again]: Who’s sore? Say, listen to me. I know what I’m about, see? I married for a home, see? Well, I got a home, ain’t I? I wanted to get away from working in the city. Well, I got away, didn’t I? I’m in the country, ain’t I? And I ain’t working so very hard, either, that I can notice. Oh, I know what’s expected of me and I ain’t going to lay down on my job. Don’t you fret. You be on your way, and mind your own business.
