Juliet. O no, indeed! Even if you have no personal regard for your aunt, respect for your father's feelings and a proper regard for decorum, ought to subdue your desire of going at this time to a place of public amusement.
Madeline. That is exactly such a speech as Cecilia Selden would make on a similar occasion. It is a pity "the truly wise man" is not here. How Neddy would applaud.
Juliet. But where is the use of talking in this manner. You know you cannot go to the theatre.
Madeline. I know I can.
Juliet. How? In what way? I do not understand you.
Madeline. My going to the theatre to-night depends principally on you.
Juliet. On me!
Madeline. Yes, for I will not venture alone, and you must go with me.
Juliet. Go with you—I go with you!
Madeline. Yes.
