Clar. I would not give a shilling to go the winner's halves.
Aram. Then 'tis the most fortunate thing that ever cou'd have happen'd.
Clar. All your last night's ideas, Araminta, were trifles to it.
Aram. Brass, my dear, will be useful to us.
Brass. At your service, Madam.
Clar. Flippanta will be necessary, my life!
Flip. She waits your commands, Madam.
Aram. For my part then, I recommend my husband to thee, Flippanta, and make it my earnest request thou won't leave him one half-crown.
Flip. I'll do all I can to obey you, Madam.
Brass. [To Clarissa.] If your ladyship wou'd give me the same kind orders for yours.
