Стр. 33 - There now! you — you are going on. You don't perceive, my life, that you are just doing the very thing which you know always makes me angry.
Стр. 72 - Why, as to reforming, sir Peter, I'll make no promises, and that I take to be a proof that I intend to set about it. But here shall be my monitor — my gentle guide — ah ! can I leave the virtuous path those eyes illumine ? Though thou, dear maid, shouldst waive thy beauty's sway, Thou still must rule, because I will obey : An humble fugitive from folly view, No sanctuary near but love and you ; [To the audience. You can, indeed, each anxious fear remove, For even Scandal dies if you approve.
Стр. 22 - Yes, yes, madam, you were then in somewhat a humbler style : — the daughter of a plain country squire.
