The scene is a garden before Mr. Townly's house in London. Lucas, the
gardener enters in a rage.
Lucas:
To hell with that bitch and her contradictory nature!
Townly:
There, there, Lucas, softly.
Lucas:
No, sir. I can no longer put up with your wife's temperament.
Townly:
You have to forgive her, because the spirit of contradiction is
natural to her.
Lucas:
When she contradicts you like crazy,--you, her husband--that's
natural, huh? Well, maybe. But it isn't natural that she should
contradict my garden.
Townly:
Patience, Lucas, patience.
Lucas:
To be perfectly frank I don't like being gardener here--or anywhere
there are women. A woman in a garden causes more damage than a million
hedgehogs.
Townly:
You're right and my wife is in the wrong.
Lucas:
Everything I've planted is torn up.
