Act II

David
I think it would be better, Judith, if you exercised a little more influence over the children.
Judith
That’s right⁠—blame it all on me.
David
After all, dear, you started it, by snapping everybody up.
Judith
You ought never to have married me, David; it was a great mistake.
David
The atmosphere of this house is becoming more unbearable every day, and all because Simon and Sorel are allowed to do exactly what they like.
Judith
You sit upstairs all day, writing your novels.
David
Novels which earn us our daily bread.
Judith
“Daily bread” nonsense! We’ve got enough money to keep us in comfort until we die.
David
That will be very soon, if we can’t get a little peace. Come out into the garden⁠—
To Myra .
Judith
I sincerely hope the night air will cool you.
