opened up himself which perfumed the room. She came quickly back to her husband, and said, I am persuaded this is Argyle. He said, I am of the same mind; but you are oft-times o'er plain in your discourse. She said, no, no; 'tis good speaking to him now in the day of his distress; if we were once sent down to dinner, I shall use more freedom.
