““Meanwhile direct your attention to the three gentlemen at the door: they are conversing. 1st Gent. — Who’s the man of the house — the bald man? 2nd Gent. — Of course. The man of the house is always bald. He’s a stockbroker, I believe. Snooks brought me. 1st Gent. — Have you been to the tea-room? There’s a pretty girl in the tea-room; blue eyes, pink ribbons, that kind of thing. 2nd Gent. — Who the deuce is that girl with those tremendous shoulders? Gad! I do wish somebody would smack ‘em. 3rd Gent. — Sir — that young lady is my niece, sir, — my niece — my name is Blades, sir. 2nd Gent. — Well, Blades! smack your niece’s shoulders: she deserves it, begad! she does. Come in, Jinks, present me to the Perkinses. — Hullo! here’s an old country acquaintance — Lady Bacon, as I live! with all the piglings; she never goes out without the whole litter. (Exeunt 1st and 2nd Gents.)””
![“[On her seven-month-old son:] When people see me carrying him in the street they think I'm being attacked by a short, bald man. But it's just me with my little fat child.” quote by Elizabeth Hurley](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/243/elizabeth-hurley-9936_bald-man_on-her-seven-month-old-son-when-people-s_99146.jpg)
