The man is noble, strong and brave;
Woman should be his loving slave.
SUSAN. _That_ notion's in its little grave!
GRANDMA. Very good, my darlings, (_she rises_) Edith, yesterday you
could not tell me all the ingredients of bread. Do you know now what you
omitted?
EDITH. Yes, Grandma Gregg. Add a cup of butter.
GRANDMA. Correct. IDA, if you had a husband and he came home very late,
what would you do?
IDA. (_curtseys_) I would pretend to be fast, fast asleep.
GRANDMA. Yes. And what would you say the next morning?
IDA. "Good morning, dear. I was asleep when you came in. I hope you had
a pleasant evening."
