A Woman of No Importance (Act 2) - Oscar Wilde
SCENE

Drawing-room at Hunstanton, after dinner, lamps lit. Door L.C.
Door R.C.
[Ladies seated on sofas.]

MRS. ALLONBY
What a comfort it is to have got rid of the men for a little!

LADY STUTFIELD
Yes; men persecute us dreadfully, don't they?

MRS. ALLONBY
Persecute us? I wish they did.

LADY HUNSTANTON
My dear!

MRS. ALLONBY
The annoying thing is that the wretches can be perfectly happy without us. That is why I think it is every woman's duty never to leave them alone for a single moment, except during this short breathing space after dinner; without which I believe we poor women would be absolutely worn to shadows.

[Enter Servants with coffee.]

LADY HUNSTANTON
Worn to shadows, dear?
