Septimus: Now, sir, what is the business that cannot wait?
Chater: I think you know it, sir. You have insulted my wife.
Septimus: Insulted her? That would deny my nature, my conduct, and the admiration in which I hold Mrs Chater.
Chater: I have heard of your admiration, sir! You insulted my wife in the gazebo yesterday evening!
Septimus: You are mistaken, I made love to your wife in the gazebo. She asked me to meet her there, I have her note somewhere, I dare say I could find it for you, and if someone is putting it about that I did not turn up, by God, sir, it is a slander!
...
Chater:... I demand satisfaction!
Septimus: Mrs Chater demanded satisfaction and now you are demanding satisfaction. I cannot spend my time day and night satisfying the demands of the Chater family.
