LADY SNEERWELL. The Torments of Shame and Disappointment on you all! LADY TEAZLE. Hold--Lady Sneerwell--before you go let me thank you for the trouble you and that Gentleman have taken in writing Letters from me to Charles and answering them yourself--and let me also request you to make my Respects to the Scandalous College--of which you are President--and inform them that Lady Teazle, Licentiate, begs leave to return the diploma they granted her--as she leaves of[f] Practice and kills Characters no longer. LADY SNEERWELL. Provoking--insolent!--may your Husband live these fifty years! [Exit.] SIR PETER. Oons what a Fury---- LADY TEAZLE. A malicious Creature indeed! SIR PETER. Hey--not for her last wish?-- LADY TEAZLE. O No-- SIR OLIVER. Well Sir, and what have you to say now? SURFACE. Sir, I am so confounded, to find that Lady Sneerwell could be guilty of suborning Mr. Snake in this manner to impose on us all that I know not what to say----however, lest her Revengeful Spirit should prompt her to injure my Brother I had certainly better follow her directly. |
