Let us have no more of this!—Sir John, I shall now give up teasing you about matrimony. I see you are incorrigible.
SIR JOHN HAZELWOOD.
Then you see further than I do, madam, for I rather think it possible I may be persuaded to enter into it at last.
LADY GOODBODY.
I'm sure I most earnestly wish it for your own sake; and so confident am I of your making an excellent husband, that I would even venture to recommend you to the dearest relation I have.
MISS MARTIN(aside, breaking away from them suddenly, and hurrying to the other end of the room.)
At it again! I can bear this no longer.
SIR JOHN HAZELWOOD(to Lady Goodbody).
You see, madam, this conversation is interesting only to you and me: had I not then better make love to your ladyship?
LADY GOODBODY.
Why there was a time, Sir John, when I was not without admirers.
