Lady Ashford:
You will refrain from any intercourse with the negro. Lord and Lady Mansfield may find it fascinating to have a Lady Mulatto running around in their house, but I will not have one running around in mine.

Oliver Ashford:
She is an heiress.

Lady Ashford:
Although exceptions can be made.

Oliver Ashford:
It is said that her father left her a rather vast fortune.

Lady Ashford:
I mean to say, if that is your inclination.

Oliver Ashford:
She is rather soft on the eye. I have thought no further of it, Mama.

Lady Ashford:
Where do you get your information?

Oliver Ashford:
Her sister-cousin has a rather fast tongue.
