Trang 10 - There ia butone fault — she has hardly spirit enough for me. BOB. Lord, sir, now I think she's over vicious. Why she kicked our Dick in the throat t'other morning. SPLASH.

I was beginning to despair, but I'm nerved again — we'll treat them exactly as they deserve — SMITH. The idea of making such a fuss, and talking of cutting our throats, about one's wife's virtue....
Trang 14 - And we have only come on that condition. SOM. Willingly, most willingly — I was going to the Cityball to-night, but I feel no regret at having abandoned its attractions, since it has procured me the pleasure of passing the evening with you.

I understand your husband is going to the city ball to-night. About a quarter after eight, you will hear under your window the sound of my flute, and if you will only deign to open it, it will convince me you are not inflexible.
