Context
Rev James Morrell has just left his office after discussing the return of his wife, Candida. Both he and Rev Lexy Mill admire Candida greatly but Proserpine is fed up of the way they idealize her. She does not understand why they dote on Candida just because she is beautiful and has a fashionable figure. Lexy reproaches her for such negative feelings but Proserpine is quick to put him in his place.
