Understand me, pa—she will sit in our carriage.

Sir Julian Twombley.

Then understand me, Katherine, I will not have my knees cramped by a lady whose social status is equivocal.

Lady Twombley.

Ah! Julian! Don’t attempt to come between me and Mrs. Gaylustre.

Sir Julian Twombley.

Katherine!

Lady Twombley.

You will assist her into the carriage, you will help her to alight; when she arrives you will be charmed to see her, when she leaves you will be a mass of regret. You hear me!

Sir Julian Twombley.
