In a conversation between Constance and Tommy Dukes, Constance asks Tommy why men and women don't seem to like each other during their times. Tommy claims that he does like women.

Constance thinks that there's something wrong in this, and something wrong between men and women in general. Tommy Dukes claims that the sex

The handicapped Clifford has become totally dependent on Connie, and Connie tends to him diligently and sympathetically. But she notices that he seems curiously detached from his surroundings, disconnected from other people; he is unable to relate to the workers in the coal mines that he owns, seeing them more as objects than as men.

She feels that Clifford is terrified that she will leave him, and notes that he is like a child in his emotional life. She asks him again about having a child, and he says that he would only want one if it would not ruin their relationship with each other. He tells her that without her, he is nothing.
