Liar

“End your relationship with James.”

“Why, Mrs. Moriarty?”

“He deserves to be happy.”

“And he won’t be with me?”

“Such impudence, believing that he could be happy with a woman whose mind is defective.”

“I’ll ignore that asinine remark.”

“You know I’m right.”

“My illness doesn’t affect how James feels about me.”

“It should.”

“It doesn’t.  This morning he proposed.”

“You’re lying.”

James strode in just then.  “Mother, don’t call my fiancée a liar.”
