Grace! Why, does the young woman expect I must be converted before I court her?
JESSAMY
I mean graces of person: for instance, my lord tells us that we must cut off our nails even at top, in small segments of circles—though you won't understand that; in the next place, you must regulate your laugh.
JONATHAN
Maple-log seize it! don't I laugh natural?
JESSAMY
That's the very fault, Mr. Jonathan. Besides, you absolutely misplace it. I was told by a friend of mine that you laughed outright at the play the other night, when you ought only to have tittered.
JONATHAN
Gor! I—what does one go to see fun for if they can't laugh?
JESSAMY You may laugh; but you must laugh by rule.
