MAJOR.

FANNY. I dare say I shall be scolded, but I’m used to that; in fact, I rather like it; and after all it was sure to be found out sooner or later; in a word—that letter—

FANNY. Was intended for me!

MRS. MAJOR (aside to her). Fanny!

FANNY (aside to her). Hush! I’m engaged in a little business of my own now!

MRS. P. For you?

FANNY. Yes! although I particularly told him not to write to me.

MRS. P. Told him? Told who?
