I was a mandarin when your wife came in—I thought it best—and this ex-mash of yours took advantage of me, and smacked my face.
CHARLES SYLVESTER.
(To ROSALINE.) I tell you what it is,—I think you had better go. You had better be off—I can't have you here.
REMBRANDT TEMPENNY.
I quite agree. I don't want her—she is more trouble than she is worth.
ROSALINE.
You are very rude to me, both of you. (To CHARLES SYLVESTER.) Your manners have not improved with matrimony, my friend.
CHARLES SYLVESTER.
I am not going to discuss my manners—
REMBRANDT TEMPENNY.
