(Olivia, Arabella, and Selina join Worthy and Laura)
Arabella: (to Olivia)
Really, this is very pleasant.
Olivia:
Will he be stupid enough to chance it?
Jenny:
Oh, indeed yes.
Laura: I doubt it, Jenny. A man with the character you ascribe to him would be more careful.
Jenny: Unless another woman holds him off, I cannot conceive what would restrain him.
Laura:
Worthy, he's not coming. (to Olivia) Madam, he's not coming. (To
Selina) Madam, do you believe he will come?
Selina:
I truly don't know, madam.
Jenny:
At the beginning, didn't he keep every rendez-vous you gave him?
Selina:
Oh, shut up, Jenny. I am angry with myself.
