Mrs Birling

• As if a girl of that sort would ever refuse money
• She called herself, Mrs Birling … it was simply a piece of gross impertinence
• Girls of that class
• Really the things you girls pick up these days!
• I was the only one of you who didn’t give in to him
• He certainly didn’t make me confess
• I’ll tell you what I told her. Go and look for the father of the child
• She only had herself to blame
• She was giving herself ridiculous airs she was claiming […] fine feelings and scruples that were simply absurd in a girl in her position
• I don’t think we want any further details of this disgusting affair
• (when tole Eric is drunk) (staggered) It isn’t true […] You aren’t the type - you don’t get drunk
• Surely you don’t mean Alderman Meggarty?
• Edna’ll go. I asked her to wait up to make us some tea
• I did nothing I’m ashamed of or that won bear investigation
• You’re quite wrong to suppose I shall regret what I did
• … so I used my influence you have it refused
