I understand you, Lady L——, you need not speak out—Every one in their way.
You would not behave thus, were my brother—
Perhaps not.
Dear Charlotte, you are excessively wrong.
So I think, returned she.
Why then do you not—
Mend, Lady L——? All in good time.
Her woman came in with a message, expressing her lord's desire to see her.—The deuce is in these men! They will neither be satisfied with us, nor without us. But I am all obedience: no vow will I break—And out she went.
Lord G—— not returning presently, and Lord and Lady L——'s chariot being come, they both took this opportunity, in order to shew their displeasure, to go away without taking leave of their sister. Dr. Bartlett retired to his apartment. And when Lady G—— came down, she was surprised, and a little vexed, to find only Emily there. Lord G—— came in at another door—Upon my word, my Lord, this is strange behaviour in you: you fright away, with your husband-like airs, all one's company.
Good God!—I am astonished at you, madam.
