r more respectfulTo´morrow let it be。 ��Offering to go。��
MISS NEVILLE。 By no means�察�sir。 Your ceremony will displease her。 The disorder of your dress will show the ardour of your impatience。 Besides�察�she knows you are in the house�察�and will permit you to see her。
MARLOW。 O� �the devil� �how shall I support it�拭 �Hem� �hem� �Hastings�察�you must not go。 You are to assist me�察�you know。 I shall be confoundedly ridiculous。 Yet�察�hang it� �I'll take courage。 Hem��
HASTINGS。 Pshaw�察�man� �it's but the first plunge�察�and all's over。 She's but a woman�察�you know。
MARLOW。 And�察�of all women�察�she that I dread most to encounter。
Enter MISS HARDCASTLE�察�as returned from walking�察�a bonnet�察�etc。
HASTINGS。 ��Introducing them。�� Miss Hardcastle�察�Mr。 Marlow。 I'm proud of bringing two persons of such merit together�察�that only want to know�察�to esteem each other。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 ��Aside。�� Now for meeting my modest gentleman with a demure face�察�and quite in his own manner。 ��After a pause�察�in which he appears very uneasy and disconcerted。�� I'm glad of your safe arrival�察�sir。 I'm told you had some accidents by the way。
MARLOW。 Only a few�察�madam。 Yes�察�we had some。 Yes�察�madam�察�a good many accidents�察�but should be sorrymadamor rather glad of any accidentsthat are so agreeably concluded。 Hem��
HASTINGS。 ��To him。�� You never spoke better in your whole life。 Keep it up�察�and I'll insure you the victory。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I'm afraid you flatter�察�sir。 You that have seen so much of the finest company�察�can find little entertainment in an obscure corner of the country。
MARLOW。 ��Gathering courage。�� I have lived�察�indeed�察�in the world�察�madam�察�but I have kept very little company。 I have been but an observer upon life�察�madam�察�while others were enjoying it。
MISS NEVILLE。 But that�察�I am told�察�is the way to enjoy it at last。
HASTINGS。 ��To him。�� Cicero never spoke better。 Once more�察�and you are confirmed in assurance for ever。
MARLOW。 ��To him。�� Hem� �Stand by me�察�then�察�and when I'm down�察�throw in a word or two�察�to set me up again。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 An observer�察�like you�察�upon life were�察�I fear�察�disagreeably employed�察�since you must have had much more to censure than to approve。
MARLOW。 Pardon me�察�madam。 I was always willing to be amused。 The folly of most people is rather an object of mirth than uneasiness。
HASTINGS。 ��To him。�� Bravo�察�bravo。 Never spoke so well in your whole life。 Well�察�Miss Hardcastle�察�I see that you and Mr。 Marlow are going to be very good company。 I believe our being here will but embarrass the interview。
MARLOW。 Not in the least�察�Mr。 Hastings。 We like your company of all things。 ��To him。�� Zounds� �George�察�sure you won't go�拭�how can you leave us��
HASTINGS。 Our presence will but spoil conversation�察�so we'll retire to the next room。 ��To him。�� You don't consider�察�man�察�that we are to manage a little tete´a´tete of our own。 ��Exeunt。��
MISS HARDCASTLE。 ��after a pause��。 But you have not been wholly an observer�察�I presume�察�sir�此�the ladies�察�I should hope�察�have employed some part of your addresses。
MARLOW。 ��Relapsing into timidity。�� Pardon me�察�madam�察�IIIas yet have studiedonlytodeserve them。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 And that�察�some say�察�is the very worst way to obtain them。
MARLOW。 Perhaps so�察�madam。 But I love to converse only with the more grave and sensible part of the sex。 But I'm afraid I grow tiresome。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Not at all�察�sir�察�there is nothing I like so much as grave conversation myself�察�I could hear it for ever。 Indeed�察�I have often been surprised how a man of sentiment could ever admire those light airy pleasures�察�where nothing reaches the heart。
MARLOW。 It'sa diseaseof the mind�察�madam。 In the variety of tastes there must be some who�察�wanting a relishforumaum。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I understand you�察�sir。 There must be some�察�who�察�wanting a relish for refined pleasures�察�pretend to despise what they are incapable of tasting。
MARLOW。 My meaning�察�madam�察�but infinitely better expressed。 And I can't help observinga
MISS HARDCASTLE。 ��Aside。�� Who could ever suppose this fellow impudent upon some occasions�拭 。�To him。�� You were going to observe�察�sir
MARLOW。 I was observing�察�madamI protest�察�madam�察�I forget what I was going to observe。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 ��Aside。�� I vow and so do I。 ��To him。�� You were observing�察�sir�察�that in this age of hypocrisysomething about hypocrisy�察�sir。
MARLOW。 Yes�察�madam。 In this age of hypocrisy there are few who upon strict inquiry do notaaa
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I understand you perfectly�察�sir。
MARLOW。 ��Aside。�� Egad� �and that's more than I do myself。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 You mean that in this hypocritical age there are few that do not condemn in public what they practise in private�察�and think they pay every debt to virtue when they praise it。
MARLOW。 True�察�madam�察�those who have most virtue in their mouths�察�have least of it in their bosoms。 But I'm sure I tire you�察�madam。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Not in the least�察�sir�察�there's something so agreeable and spirited in your manner�察�such life and forcepray�察�sir�察�go on。
MARLOW。 Yes�察�madam。 I was sayingthat there are some occasions�察�when a total want of courage�察�madam�察�destroys all theand puts usupon aaa
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I agree with you entirely�察�a want of courage upon some occasions assumes the appearance of ignorance�察�and betrays us when we most want to excel。 I beg you'll proceed。
MARLOW。 Yes�察�madam。 Morally speaking�察�madamBut I see Miss Neville expecting us in the next room。 I would not intrude for the world。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I protest�察�sir�察�I never was more agreeably entertained in all my life。 Pray go on。
MARLOW。 Yes�察�madam�察�I wasBut she beckons us to join her。 Madam�察�shall I do myself the honour to attend you��
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Well�察�then�察�I'll follow。
MARLOW。 ��Aside。�� This pretty smooth dialogue has done for me。 ��Exit。��
MISS HARDCASTLE。 ��Alone。�� Ha� �ha� �ha� �Was there ever such a sober�察�sentimental interview�拭 �I'm certain he scarce looked in my face the whole time。 Yet the fellow�察�but for his unaccountable bashfulness�察�is pretty well too。 He has good sense�察�but then so buried in his fears�察�that it fatigues one more than ignorance。 If I could teach him a little confidence�察�it would be doing somebody that I know of a piece of service。 But who is that somebody��That�察�faith�察�is a question I can scarce answer。 ��Exit。��
Enter TONY and MISS NEVILLE�察�followed by MRS。 HARDCASTLE and HASTINGS。
TONY。 What do you follow me for�察�cousin Con�拭 �I wonder you're not ashamed to be so very engaging。
MISS NEVILLE。 I hope�察�cousin�察�one may speak to one's own relations�察�and not be to blame。
TONY。 Ay�察�but I know what sort of a relation you want to make me�察�though�察�but it won't do。 I tell you�察�cousin Con�察�it won't do�察�so I beg you'll keep your distance�察�I want no nearer relationship。 ��She follows�察�coquetting him to the back scene。��
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Well� �I vow�察�Mr。 Hastings�察�you are very entertaining。 There's nothing in the world I love to talk of so much as London�察�and the fashions�察�though I was never there myself。
HASTINGS。 Never there� �You amaze me� �From your air and manner�察�I concluded you had been bred all your life either at Ranelagh�察�St。 James's�察�or Tower Wharf。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 O� �sir�察�you're only pleased to say so。 We country persons can have no manner at all。 I'm in love with the town�察�and that serves to raise me above some of our neighbouring rustics�察�but who can have a manner�察�that has never seen the Pantheon�察�the Grotto Gardens�察�the Borough�察�and such places where the nobility chiefly resort�拭 �All I can do is to enjoy London at second´hand。 I take care to know every tete´a´tete from the Scandalous Magazine�察�and have all the fashions�察�as they come out�察�in a letter from the two Miss Rickets of Crooked Lane。 Pray how do you like this head�察�Mr。 Hastings��
HASTINGS。 Extremely elegant and degagee�察�upon my word�察�madam。 Your friseur is a Frenchman�察�I suppose��
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 I protest�察�I dressed it myself from a print in the Ladies' Memorandum´book for the last year。
HASTINGS。 Indeed� �Such a head in a side´box at the play´house would draw as many gazers as my Lady Mayoress at a City Ball。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 I vow�察�since inoculation began�察�there is no such thing to be seen as a plain woman�察�so one must dress a little particular�察�or one may escape in the crowd。
HASTINGS。 But that can never be your case�察�madam�察�in any dress。 ��Bowing。��
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Yet�察�what signifies my dressing when I have such a piece of antiquity by my side as Mr。 Hardcastle�此�all I can say will never argue down a single button from his clothes。 I have often wanted him to throw off his great flaxen wig�察�and where he was bald�察�to plaster it over�察�like my Lord Pately�察�with powder。
HASTINGS。 You are right�察�madam�察�for�察�as among the ladies there are none ugly�察�so among the men there are none old。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 But what do you think his answer was�拭 �Why�察�with his usual Gothic vivacity�察�he said I only wanted him to throw off his wig�察�to convert it into a tete for my own wearing。
HASTINGS。 Intolerable� �At your age you may wear what you please�察�and it must become you。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Pray�察�Mr。 Hastings�察�what do you take to be the most fashionable age about town��
HASTINGS。 Some time ago�察�forty was all the mode�察�but I'm told the ladies intend to bring up fifty for the ensuing winter。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Seriously。 Then I shall be too young for the fashion。
HASTINGS。 No lady begins now to put on jewels till she's past forty。 For instance�察�Miss there�察�in a polite circle�察�would be considered as a child�察�as a mere maker of samplers。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 And yet Mrs。 Niece thinks herself as much a woman�察�and is as fond of jewels�察�as the oldest of us all。
HASTINGS。 Your niece�察�is she�拭 �And that young gentleman�察�a brother of yours�察�I should presume��
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 My son�察�sir。 They are contracted to each other。 Observe their little sports。 They fall in and out ten times a day�察�as if they were man and wife already。 ��To them。�� Well�察�Tony�察�child�察�what soft things are you saying to your cousin Constance this evening��
TONY。 I have been saying no soft things�察�but that it's very hard to be followed about so。 Ecod� �I've not a place in the house now that's left to myself�察�but the stable。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Never mind him�察�Con�察�my dear。 He's in another story behind your back。
MISS NEVILLE。 There's something generous in my cousin's manner。 He falls out before faces to be forgiven in private。
TONY。 That's a damned confoundedcrack。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Ah� �he's a sly one。 Don't you think they are like each other about the mouth�察�Mr。 Hastings�拭 �The Blenkinsop mouth to a T。 They're of a size too。 Back to back�察�my pretties�察�that Mr。 Hastings may see you。 Come�察�Tony。
TONY。 You had as good not make me�察�I tell you。 ��Measuring。��
MISS NEVILLE。 O lud� �he has almost cracked my head。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 O�察�the monster� �For shame�察�Tony。 You a man�察�and behave so��
TONY。 If I'm a man�察�let me have my fortin。 Ecod� �I'll not be made a fool of no longer。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Is this�察�ungrateful boy�察�all that I'm to get for the pains I have taken in your education�拭�
