The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Mrs. Warren's Profession by George Bernard Shaw: patronage even more forced than usual] Well, dearie: have you had
a good supper?
VIVIE. You know what Mrs Alison's suppers are. [She turns to
Frank and pets him] Poor Frank! was all the beef gone? did it get
nothing but bread and cheese and ginger beer? [Seriously, as if
she had done quite enough trifling for one evening] Her butter is
really awful. I must get some down from the stores.
FRANK. Do, in Heaven's name!
[Vivie goes to the writing-table and makes a memorandum to order
the butter. Praed comes in from the kitchen, putting up his
handkerchief, which he has been using as a napkin.]
