Enter Corinna.
Cor. Ah, Flippanta, I'm ready to sink down, my legs tremble under me, my dear Flippy.
Flip. And what's the affair?
Cor. My father's there within, with my mother and Araminta; I never saw him in so good a humour in my life.
Flip. And is that it that frightens you so?
Cor. Ah, Flippanta, they are just going to speak to him, about my marrying the Colonel.
Flip. Are they so? so much the worse; they're too hasty.
Cor. O no, not a bit: I slipt out on purpose, you must know, to give them an opportunity; wou'd 'twere done already.
Flip. I tell you no; get you in again immediately, and prevent it.
Cor. My dear, dear, I am not able; I never was in such a way before.
