Nay, but be calm a moment; 'twas from my regard to you that I did not discard her.
LETITIA
Regard to me!
DIMPLE
Yes; I have done everything in my power to break with her, but the foolish girl is so fond of me that nothing can accomplish it. Besides, how can I offer her my hand when my heart is indissolubly engaged to you?
LETITIA

DIMPLE
Attentive to Miss Manly! For heaven's sake, if you have no better opinion of my constancy, pay not so ill a compliment to my taste.
