Mrs Birling Flashcards
(17 cards)
When you’re married you’ll realise that men with important work to do sometimes have
to spend nearly all their time and energy on their business. You’ll have to get used to that, just as I had
Girls of
that class.
Though naturally I don’t know
anything about this girl.
We’ve done a great deal of useful work
in helping deserving cases
I think she only had
herself to blame.
I didn’t like
her manner.
I did nothing
I’m ashamed of.
I used my influence
to have it refused.
You have no power
to make me change my mind
I’ve done nothing wrong
– and you know it.
Go and look for the father of the child
It’s his responsibility.
She was here alone, friendless,
almost penniless, desperate.
As if a girl of that sort
would ever refuse money.
I accept no
blame for it at all.
You don’t
get drunk.
If you want to know,
it’s you two who are being childish –
In the morning they’ll
be as amused as we are
