Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Worth of a Woman: A Play in Four Acts
Merivale. Eh? Ah? What? You, Mag gie? Oh, yes. Um - where was I? [returns to his work, saying abstractedly, ] My dear child, the first law of human intercourse is, Don't interrupt! [with a kindly, absent smile] Your interruption has perhaps slain an immortal thought. [quite absorbed again] Whether or no the soul is immortal, certain it is there are immortal thoughts. Perhaps Milton and Hugo were right, and some souls, like some thoughts, are immortal, others not.
Maggie. [holding up the telegram] Isn't this telegram on the table here the one Miss Diana wanted as soon as it came?
