'Well not often. Why should I? Sunday is just the day that people like
to be at home.'

'I should have thought it would not have made much difference to a
bachelor in that way.'

'But Sunday is a day that one specially likes to pass after one's own
fashion.'

'Exactly and therefore you don't stay with my aunt. I understand it all
completely.'

'Now you mean to be ill-natured!'

'I mean to say that I don't like Sundays at Perivale at all, and that I
should do just as you do if I had the power. But women women, that is,
of my age are such slaves! We are forced to give an obedience for which
we can see no cause, and for which we can understand no necessity. I
couldn't tell my aunt that I meant to go away on Saturday.'

'You have no business which makes imperative calls upon your time.'

'That means that I can't plead pretended excuses. But the true reason
is that we are dependent.'

'There is something in that, I suppose.'

'Not that I am dependent on her. But my position generally is
dependent, and I cannot assist myself.'
