Jenny. O! perfectly well, Sir! We have been abroad in our new coach all day long——and we have bought an ocean of fine things. And to-morrow we go to the masquerade! and on Friday to the play! and on Saturday to the opera! and on Sunday we are to be at what d'ye call it—assembly, and see the ladies play at quadrille, and piquet and ombre, and hazard, and basset, and on Monday, we are to see the King! and so on Tuesday——
Lady Wrong. Hold, hold, Miss! you must not let your tongue run so fast, child——you forgot! you know I brought you hither to learn modesty.

Jenny. All I said, Papa, was only to entertain my cousin Manly.
Man. My pretty dear, I am mightily obliged to you.
