Arabella:
As for me, I haven't got such a strong soul.
Selina: (to Olivia)
But you, madam, he loves you.
Olivia:
Like the others.
Bendish: I assure you that you are the only woman in the world of whom I never heard him say a bad thing.
Laura:
And of me, Bendish?
Bendish:
Oh, for you, he loves you, madam.
Laura: Who can doubt it after this. I am going to speak to him myself. I won't bother to change my voice.
Worthy:
Madam.
Laura: (interrupting him)
I beg you, let me do it. I intend to speak to him. (to Olivia,
Arabella, and Selina making them sit in a corner) Ladies, be seated.
(to Worthy, also placing him to the side) Worthy, you sit back, too.
Worthy:
Tell Bendish to be silent.
