Aman. Notwithstanding all these Jars, did not his Death at last extremely trouble you?
Ber. O yes: Not that my present Pangs were so very violent, but the After-pains were intolerable. I was forc'd to wear a beastly Widow's Band a Twelvemonth for't.
Aman. Women, I find, have different Inclinations.
Ber. Women, I find, keep different Company. When your Husband ran away from you, if you had fallen into some of my Acquaintance, 'twou'd have sav'd you many a Tear. But you go and live with a Grandmother, a Bishop, and an old Nurse, which was enough to make any Woman break her Heart for her Husband. Pray, Amanda, if ever you are a Widow again, keep yourself so as I do.
Aman. Why, do you then resolve you'll never marry?
Ber. O, no; I resolve I will.
Aman. How so?
Ber. That I never may.
Aman. You banter me.
Ber. Indeed I don't. But I consider I'm a Woman, and form my Resolutions accordingly.
