Clar. Half the year, I should like it very well.
Lady Ara. And you wou'd live in London half a year, to be sober in it?
Clar. Yes.
Lady Ara. Why can't you as well go and be sober in the country?
Clar. So I wou'd the other half year.
Lady Ara. And pray what pretty scheme of life wou'd you form now, for your summer and winter sober entertainments?
Clar. A scheme that I think might very well content us.
Lady Ara. Let's hear it.
Clar. I cou'd in summer pass my time very agreeably, in riding soberly, in walking soberly, in sitting under a tree soberly, in gardening soberly, in reading soberly, in hearing a little music soberly, in conversing with some agreeable friends soberly, in working soberly, in managing my family and children (if I had any) soberly, and possibly by these means I might induce my husband to be as sober as myself.
