Horace. I am not sacrificing her pleasure, it’s you. Why don’t you go?

Aunt. You know I can’t.

Horace. There’s nothing to prevent you, except your absurd vanity.

Minnie. For shame, Horace!

Aunt. Vanity indeed! How dare you?

Horace. It’s perfectly true. It’s just your nonsense about a dress.

Aunt. Very well, then, you shall see. I will go. I don’t care how I look.

Horace. And I am sure I don’t, either.

Aunt. Minnie shan’t be deprived of her evening. I’ll put on my yellow satin and look a perfect fright.
