ANABEL. Yes, I believe I've heard.

WINIFRED. I want to introduce you to Gerald, to see if you like him.
He's good at the bottom, but he's very overbearing and definite.

ANABEL. Is he?

WINIFRED. Terribly clever in business. He'll get awfully rich.

ANABEL. Isn't he rich enough already?

WINIFRED. Oh, yes, because Daddy is rich enough, really. I think
if Gerald was a bit different, he'd be really nice. Now he's so
MANAGING. It's sickening. Do you dislike managing people, Anabel?

ANABEL. I dislike them extremely, Winifred.

WINIFRED. They're such a bore.

ANABEL. What does Gerald manage?

WINIFRED. Everything. You know he's revolutionised the collieries
and the whole Company. He's made a whole new thing of it, so MODERN.
Father says he almost wishes he'd let it die out--let the pits be
closed. But I suppose things MUST be modernised, don't you think?
Though it's very unpeaceful, you know, really.

ANABEL. Decidedly unpeaceful, I should say.
