A WOMAN OF
ACT III.
LADY HUNSTANTON
Bimetallism! Is that quite a nice subject? However, I know people discuss everything very freely nowadays. What did Sir John talk to you about, dear Mrs. Allonby?
MRS. ALLONBY
About Patagonia.
LADY HUNSTANTON
Really? What a remote topic! But very improving, I have no doubt.
MRS. ALLONBY
He has been most interesting on the subject of Patagonia. Savages seem to have quite the same views as cultured people on almost all subjects. They are excessively advanced.
LADY HUNSTANTON
What do they do?
MRS. ALLONBY
Apparently everything.
