Mrs Birling Flashcards
“When you’re married you’ll realize that men with important work to do sometimes have to spend nearly all their time and energy on their business”
“You know of course that my husband was Lord Mayor only two years ago and that he’s still a magistrate”
“I’m very sorry. But I think she had only herself to blame”
“Unlike the other three, I did nothing I’m ashamed of”
“Go and look for the father of the child. It’s his responsibility”
“It wasn’t I who had her turned out of her employment – which probably began it all”
“She was claiming elaborate fine feelings and scruples that were simply absurd in a girl in her position”
“I accept no blame at all”; “I blame the young man who was the father of the child”
“You’re not the type – you don’t get drunk”
“I was the only one of you who didn’t give in to him”
