HORACE. Horace would not like to talk to you how. I am REGINA. (comes to him) Please. You've said we'll try our best with each other. I'll try. Really, I will. Please
do this for me now. You will see what I've done while you've been away. How I watched your interests.
(Laughs gaily) And I've done very well too. But things can't be delayed any longer. Everything must be
settled this week- (HORACE sits down. BEN enters. OSCAR has stayed in the dining room, his head
turned to watch them. LEO is pretending to read the newspaper) Now you must tell Horace all about it. Only
be quick because he is very tired and must go to bed. (HORACE is looking up at her. His face hardens as
she speaks) But I think your news will be better for him than all the medicine in the world.
BEN. (looking at HORACE) It could wait. Horace may not feel like talking today.
REGINA. What an old faker you are! You know it can't wait. You know it must be finished this week. You've
been just as anxious for Horace to get here as I've been.

What does this excerpt emphasize about the character of Regina?
2
O her dismissive attitude toward her husband
her anger toward her husband about his past decisions
O her desire to be a traditional wife for her husband
O her innate belief that she is inferior to her husband
