LETITIA
And will you pretend to say now, Mr. Dimple, that you propose to break with Maria? Are not the banns published? Are not the clothes purchased? Are not the friends invited? In short, is it not a done affair?
DIMPLE
Believe me, my dear Letitia, I would not marry her.
LETITIA
Why have you not broke with her before this, as you all along deluded me by saying you would?
DIMPLE
Because I was in hopes she would, ere this, have broke with me.
LETITIA
You could not expect it.
