MRS EYNSFORD HILL.

How dreadful for you!

LIZA

Not a bit. It never did him no harm what I could see. But
then he did not keep it up regular.

(Cheerfully)

On the burst,
as you might say, from time to time. And always more agreeable
when he had a drop in. When he was out of work, my mother used
to give him fourpence and tell him to go out and not come back
until he’d drunk himself cheerful and loving-like. Theres lots
of women has to make their husbands drunk to make them fit to
live with.

(Now quite at her ease)

You see, it’s like this. If a man has a bit of a conscience, it always
takes him when he’s sober; and then it makes him low-spirited. A
drop of booze just takes that off and makes him happy.

(To Freddy, who is in convulsions of suppressed laughter)
