Reverend Fortescue:
Isabel? Lady Isabel Ames:
Charles! What are you doing here? Reverend Fortescue:
I've come to stop you. Lady Isabel Ames:
How dare you? How dare you interfere with my plans? Reverend Fortescue:
You mustn't kill him. Lady Isabel Ames:
Why not? What business is it of yours, interfering priest? Reverend Fortescue:
You could hang for it. Lady Isabel Ames:
No one's going to hang. It's a simple shooting accident. Reverend Fortescue:
Isabel, this is England in 1906. People don't go around killing each other just because they don't get on! Lady Isabel Ames:
No, they just endure don't they? Stiff upper lip, that's the British way. I'm sure it wasn't like that in Africa. Reverend Fortescue:
Africa's primitive! Lady Isabel Ames:
Oh, yes. God save us from being primitive. Reverend Fortescue:
There's not so much wrong with the British way, for your class especially. Lady Isabel Ames:
My class? This is not my class, Charles. Reverend Fortescue:
You know what I mean. Lady Isabel Ames:
You don't know what *I* mean. [Adopts a changed accent and demeanor] Lady Isabel Ames:
You alone, sir? Want some company? Clean and cheap? [She returns to normal, Fortescue is speechless] Lady Isabel Ames:
Yes. I've disguised it well, haven't I? I had to. The honest tart never gets anywhere. No, they're not my bloody class, thank God!
