Recede! I have not yet complied—
O these women! They are so used to courtship, that they know not how to do right things without it—And, pardon me, madam, not always with it.
Bold man—Have I consented—
Have you not, madam, given a lady's consent? That we men expect not to be very explicit, very gracious.—It is from such non-negative consents, that we men make silence answer all we wish.
I leave Sir Charles Grandison to manage this point, said Sir Harry. In my conscience, I think the common observation just: a stander-by sees more of the game, than he that plays.
It ever will be so, Sir Harry—But I will tell you, my lady and I have as good as agreed the matter—
I have agreed to nothing, Sir Harry—
Hush, madam—I am doing you credit.—Lady Beauchamp speaks aside sometimes, Sir Harry: you are not to hear any thing she says, that you don't like.
Then I am afraid I must stop my ears for eight hours out of twelve.
That was aside, Lady Beauchamp—You are not to hear that.
