DIALOGUE III.
The Ladies at their Tea.
Lady Smart. Well, Ladies; now let us have a Cup of Discourse to ourselves.
Lady Answ. What do you think of your Friend, Sir John Spendall?
Lady Smart. Why, Madam,’tis happy for him, that his Father was born before him.
Miss. They say, he makes a very ill Husband to my Lady.
Lady Answ. But he must be allow’d to be the fondest Father in the World.
Lady Smart. Ay, Madam, that’s true; for they say, the Devil is kind to his own.
Miss. I am told, my Lady manages him to Admiration.
