Are you affronted? JENNY Affronted! with what looks shall I express my anger? JONATHAN Looks! why as to the matter of looks, you look as cross as a witch. JENNY Have you no feeling for the delicacy of my sex? JONATHAN Feeling! Gor, I--I feel the delicacy of your sex pretty smartly [rubbing his cheek], though, I vow, I thought when you city ladies courted and married, and all that, you put feeling out of the question. But I want to know whether you are really affronted, or only pretend to be so? 'Cause, if you are certainly right down affronted, I am at the end of my tether; Jessamy didn't tell me what to say to you. |
