Seite 6 - Yes, such as men of gallantry usually make. I have been attached to women who have purloined my fortune, and to men who have partaken of the theft : I have been in as much fear of my mistress as you are of your wife. Placid. Is that possible?
Seite 80 - ... there could be no evidence that he did the action, but from a book, a particular pocket-book of my Lord's, which he forgot to deliver to his servant with the notes and money to return, and which was found upon him at your house: and this, Lord Norland will affirm to be his.
Seite 39 - As my child, was she not most bound to obey me ? As my child, ought she not to have sacrificed her own happiness to mine ? Instead of which, mine has been yielded up for a whim, a fancy, a fancy to marry a beggar ; and as such is her choice, let her beg with him.
Seite 52 - No, poor thing! it would break her heart to send it back — No, I'll keep it — She would never forgive me, were I to send it back. I'll keep it. And she is welcome to attribute her concern for me to what she pleases. But surely you can see — you can understand — But Heaven bless her for her love!
Seite 35 - I never doubted it, nor ever will. Irwin. If you did you would wrong me; for there is not a danger I would not risk for your sake ; there is not an infamy I would not be branded with to make you happy, nor a punishment I would not undergo, with joy, for your welfare. — But there is a bar to this...
Seite 6 - I did not say I ever had any children; I said I had maintained them ; but I never believed they were mine; for I could have no dependence upon the principles of their mother — and never did I take one of those tender infants in my arms, that the forehead of my Valet, the...
Seite 39 - As my child, ought she not to have sacrificed her own happiness to mine? Instead of which, mine has been yielded up for a whim, a fancy, a fancy to marry a beggar; and as such is her choice, let her beg with him. Har. She does by me;— pleads hard for your forgiveness. Lord Nor.
Seite 34 - He admires the conduct of every wife but his own, and envies every married man of his acquaintance. But it is very ungenerous of you. Placid. So it is, my dear ; and not at all consistent with the law of retaliation ; for I am sure there is not one of .my acquaintance who envies me. Mrs. P. Mr. Placid, your behaviour throughout this whole day has been so totally different to what it ever was before, that I am half resolved to live no longer with you.
Seite 7 - No. If a prince were to offend you you would challenge him, I have no doubt. Placid. But if my wife offend me, I am obliged to make an apology. Was not that her voice ? I hope she has not overheard our conversation.
Seite 9 - Eleanor, his wife, (with whom we have lived upon very intimate terms, to be sure, while we were in America,) are returned to London, and I find you have visited them very frequently. Placid. Not above two or three times, upon my word ; for it hurts me to see them in distress, and I forbear to go. Mrs. P. There ! you own they are in distress ; I expected as much. Now, own to me that they have asked you to lend them money. Placid. I do own it, I do own it.
