Mrs. Insoley.
[Delighted with the opportunity he has given her.] It may surprise you, but I have no intention of doing so.
Cobbett.
[Cheerfully.] There now. And I thought I’d made such an impression on you, Mrs. Insoley.
Mrs. Insoley.
That’s why I couldn’t risk asking you to stay with me. Perhaps at my age I am safe from your blandishments, but Louisa is extremely susceptible.
Miss Hall.
Oh, Mrs. Insoley, how can you! Why, Mr. Cobbett must be ten years younger than I am.
Mrs. Insoley.
