第 91 頁 - I'll tell you what the end is — a nunnery. Gripe. A nunnery ! Brass.

[Aside. Gripe. Are you not ashamed of these ways ? Do you see how you are exposed before your best friends here ? don't you blush at it?
第 24 頁 - I beg your ladyship's pardon : I mistook indeed ; 'tis a countess's bill I have writ out to little purpose.
