Pur. I think that must be it.
Ly. How did 'one are' get past you?
Pur. Ah, I didn't see it, again.
Ly. By the way, do you know of any one who is on the look in for a wife?
Pur. What are you talking about?
Ly. Show me the man who is on the look in, and I will show you a solecist.
Pur. But what have I to do with solecists on the look in for wives?
Ly. Ah, if you knew that, you would be the man you pretend to be. So much for that. Now, if a man came to you and said that he had left his wife's home, would you stand that?
Pur. Of course I should, if he had provocation.
Ly. And if you caught him committing a solecism, would you stand it?
