But, brother, we must introduce you to some of our gay folks, and let you see the city, such as it is. Mr. Dimple is known to almost every family in town; he will doubtless take a pleasure in introducing you.
DIMPLE
I shall esteem every service I can render your brother an honour.
MANLY
I fear the business I am upon will take up all my time, and my family will be anxious to hear from me.
MARIA
His family! but what is it to me that he is married! [Aside.] Pray, how did you leave your lady, Sir?
CHARLOTTE
My brother is not married [observing her anxiety]; it is only an odd way he has of expressing himself. Pray, brother, is this business, which you make your continual excuse, a secret?
