SIR PETER. Sir Oliver, we live in a damned wicked world,

in your Life?

SIR PETER. Pshaw--Plague on you both--I see by your sneering

ROWLEY. Then to fret you no longer Sir Peter--we are indeed
acquainted with it all--I met Lady Teazle coming from Mr. Surface's so
humbled, that she deigned to request ME to be her advocate with you--

SIR PETER. And does Sir Oliver know all too?

SIR OLIVER. Every circumstance!
