Lynx. You did not sup last night?
Mrs. Ly. I did not require it.
Lynx. You eat nothing at dinner yesterday?
Mrs. Ly. I had no appetite.
Lynx. You’ll starve yourself, love, and die!
Mrs. Ly. Then you will be happy.
Lynx. I shall certainly lead a quieter life——
Mrs. Ly. And have more opportunities for carrying on your intrigues.
Lynx. What intrigues, dear?
Mrs. Ly. Those are best known to yourself.
