SCENE III.
Lady Emily's Apartment.
Lady Emily discovered, reading.
Lady E. It will not do. My eyes may run over a thousand subjects, but my thoughts centre in one. Ah! that sigh! that sigh from the fair sufferer this morning——I have found it echo in my own heart ever since.
Enter Servant.
Serv. Madam, Mr. Blandish.
Lady E. Pooh! did you say I was at home?
Serv. Your ladyship gave no orders to the contrary.
Lady E. Show him in. [Exit Servant.] I must take up my air of levity again—It is the only humour for a fellow who I sometimes allow to entertain me, but who can never get my esteem. I have more calls upon my affectation this unlucky day, than my real disposition would execute in a long life.
