May I beg, my friend, that you will explain yourself ?" "I will, sir.

How durst you take the liberty of sending one of your cast-off strumpets to attend personally upon my pure and virtuous daughter?

"But, my good sir, there is some mystery here; I certainly engaged a female of that name to attend on Miss Folliard, but most assuredly she was a well-conducted person." "What! Madam Herbert well conducted! Do you imagine, sir, that I am a fool?
Did she not admit that you debauched her ?" "It could not be, Mr.Folliard; I know nothing whatsoever about her, except that she was daughter to one of my tenants, who is besides a sergeant of dragoons." "Ay, yes, sir," replied the squire sarcastically; "and I tell you it was not for killing and eating the enemy that he was promoted to his seirgeantship.
