Marriage is a hideous affair altogether, don’t you think?
Richard
I’m really hardly qualified to judge, you see.
Judith
Do stop being noncommittal, just for once; it’s doubly annoying in the face of us all having lost control so lamentably.
Richard
I’m sorry.
Judith
There’s nothing to be sorry for, really, because, after all, it’s your particular “thing,” isn’t it?—observing everything and not giving yourself away an inch.
