HETTY. Are you going to quarrel with me?
HARRIET [moves away]. No, I have no desire to quarrel with you. It is
quite too uncomfortable. I couldn't get away from you if I tried.
HETTY [stamping her foot and following HARRIET]. You were a stupid fool
to make me refuse John, I'll never forgive you--never----
HARRIET [stopping and holding up her hand]. Don't get me all excited.
I'll be in no condition to meet her properly this afternoon.
HETTY [passionately]. I could choke you for robbing me of John.
HARRIET [retreating]. Don't muss me!
HETTY. You don't know how you have made me suffer.
HARRIET [beginning to feel the strength of HETTY'S emotion surge through
her and trying to conquer it]. It is not my business to have heartaches.
