Jane is twenty-one years old. She works at an office in the centre of London. She is a typist. Although her work is over at five o’clock in the afternoon she comes home rather late. Lane is going to marry a respectable gentleman who is fifteen years older than she is. But her mother is upset about it. She doesn’t think that Jane can be happy with Mr. Dobson. She wants her daughter to marry a younger man.
One evening Jane comes home at eleven o’clock in the evening. Mrs. Ogden is still up. She comes into the hall to meet her daughter.
“I don’t want you to marry Mr. Dobson,” she says.
“What do you mean?” the daughter asks.
“I think it’s better if you marry a man who hasn’t so much money.”
“Oh, that’s all right”, the daughter says. “He is not going to have so much money for long.”
