Reading Comprehension
Read the quoted parts carefully and answer the questions in English.
MRS. WARREN. [ after looking at her helplessly, begins to whimper ] Vivie VTVIE. [ springing up sharply ] Now pray dont begin to cry. Anything but that. I really cannot stand whimpering. I will go out of the room if you do. MRS. WARREN. [ piteously] Oh, my darling, how can you be so hard on me? Have I no rights over you as your mother? VTVIE. Are you my mother? MRS. WARREN. [ appalled ] Am I your mother! Oh, Vivie! VTVIE. Then where are our relatives? my father? our family friends? You claim the rights of a mother: the right to call me fool and child; to speak to me as no woman in authority over me at college dare speak to me; to dictate my way of life; and to force on me the acquaintance of a brute whom anyone can see to be the most vicious sort of London man about town. Before I give myself the trouble to resist such claims, I may as well find out whether they have any real existence.
