The Governess

Charles Cavendish:
I do not feel myself.

Mary Blackchurch:
Nor do I. But we can be any self we want, can't we?

Henry Cavendish:
I stink. I shall bathe in scent for you.

Mary Blackchurch:
Don't do it for me. Do it for yourself.

Mary Blackchurch:
You ask a lot of questions.

Henry Cavendish:
Then you ask me one. Anything you like.

Mary Blackchurch:
Why are you really back from Oxford?

Henry Cavendish:
I was found in an opium den in Spitalfield with a whore.

[both laugh]

Henry Cavendish:
You don't believe me and you're not surprised.

Mary Blackchurch:
No.
