Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, October 3, 1891 by Various
page 25 of 47 (53%)

_Touch._ Truly, and to cast away Liberalism upon a willingly
"unemancipated" Voter, were to deck a porker with pearls.

_Aud._ I may not be "emancipated," but I thank the gods I am
"enfranchised."

_Touch._ Well, praised be the Liberals for thine enfranchisement!
Emancipation--from "squarsonry"--may come hereafter. But, be it as it may,
I will marry thee.

_Jaq._ (_aside_). I would fain see this wedding. Methinks there will be
sport forward ere it be fully achieved.

_Aud._ Well, the gods give us joy!

_Touch._ Amen.... But, AUDREY, there is a youth here in the forest lays
claim to you.

_Aud._ Ay, I know who 'tis: he hath no interest in me in the world. Here
comes the man you mean.

_Touch._ It is meat and drink to me to see a--Tory: by my troth, we that
have good wits have much to answer for; we shall be flouting; we cannot
hold.

_Enter_ WILLIAM.

_Will._ Good even, AUDREY.
