42
Fag it hurts one's conscience...

43
Jack what, and lose...

44
F propose to the aunt in...
...your own character
45
Jack I am by no means certain that she would take me...
...with the impediment of our friend's consent, a regular humdrum wedding, and the reversion of good fortune on my side
46
Jack I must prepare her gradually...
...for the discovery and make myself necessary to her before I risk it
47
Jack you are the most teasing...
...captious, incorrigible lover!

Jack do love like...
...a man
49

50
F your heart and soul are not...

F I fear for her...
...spirits, her health, her life!

...new method of swearing
70
A it is my wish, while yet I live to have...
...my boy, make some figure in the world
71
A I have resolved therefore, to fix you at...
...once in a noble independence
72
A ay, a wife, why...
...did I not mention her before?
73
A the independence I was talking of...
...is by marriage
74
A the fortune is saddled...
...with a wife, but I suppose that makes no difference
75
Jack you talked to me of independence...
....and fortune, but not a world of a wife
76
A why, what difference...
...does that make?
77
A if you have the estate...
...you must take it with the livestock on it, as it stands
78
Jack this is not very reasonable...
...to summon my affections for a lady I know nothing of
79
A Tis more unreasonable in you...
...to object to a lady you know nothing of
80
Jack my inclinations are fixed on another...
...and my heart is engaged to an angel
81
A business prevents...
...its waiting on her
82
A I have been cool...
...quite cool; but take care

A damn me! If I ever...
...call you Jack again while I live!

Jack promise to link myself...
...to some mass of ugliness (?)
85
A the lady shall be...
...as ugly as I choose
86
A she shall have a hump...
...on each shoulder; she shall be as crooked as the crescent
87
A she shall have skin...
...like a mummy and the beard of a jew
88
A yet I will make you oggle her all day...
...and sit up all night to write sonnets on her beauty
89
Jack this is reason and...
...moderation indeed
90
A don't enter the same...
...hemisphere with me!
91
A don't dare breathe the same air, or use...
...the same light with me, but get an atmosphere and sun of your own!
92
A I'll strip you of...
...your commission
93
A I'll disown you, I'll...
...disinherit you, I'll unget you!
94
Jack I wonder what old, wealthy...
...hag he wants to bistow on me
95
Lucy I shall not enter his name...
...till my purse has received notice in form
96
Lucy I have a little scruple of conscience...
...from this deceit though I should not be paid so well
97
T she's quite the queen...
...of the dictionary!
98
Lucy a lady of...
...experience
99
Lucy I thought you weren't rich...
...enough to be so nice!
100
T I am so poor that I can't...
...Afford to do a dirty action
101
T if I did not want money, I'd steal your...
...mistress and her fortune with a great deal of pleasure
102
T modesty is a quality in a woman...
...more praised by a woman than liked
103
Fag a little less simplicity...
...with a grain or two more sincerity
104
Fag you play...
...false with us
105
Jack my father wants to force me...
....to marry the very girl I am plotting to run away with
106
A I'll love these fifty...
...years to plague him
107
Jack an obstinate, passionate...
...self-willed boy! Who can he take after?
108
A I never will see him...
...more. Never, never, never, never.
109
Jack to acknowledge my error and...
...submit entirely to your will
110
Jack now you talk sense...
...absolute sense, I never heard anything more sensible in my life
111
A confound you! You shall be...
...Jack again!
112
A such eyes! Such eyes!...
...so innocently wild!
113
A her cheeks! Her cheeks!...
...Jack!
114
A her lips! O, Jack, lips...
...smiling at their own discretion
115
A Jack, her neck!...
...o Jack!
116
A when I was of your age, such a....
...description would have made me fly like a rocket!
117
A when I ran away with your mother...
...I would not have touched anything old or ugly to gain an empire!
118
Jack not that I think a woman the worse....
...for being handsome
119
F how mean does this captious, unsatisfied...
...temper of mine appear to my cooler judgement!
120
F whom I think I love...
...beyond my life
121
F I am conscious of it...
...yet I cannot correct myself!
122
F the mutual year that steals down the cheek of...
...parting lovers is a compact, that no smile shall live there till they meet again
123
F every mirthful moment in...
...your absence is a treason to constancy
124
J if I ever seemed sad...
...it were to make malice triumph
125
J I have often dressed...
...sorrow in smiles
126
F I am a...
...brute
127
F perhaps what you have mistaken for love...
...is but a warm effusion of a too thankful heart
128
F to regard me of any quality of mind...
...or understanding, were only to esteem me
129
F I have often wished myself deformed...
...to be convinced that I owed no obligation there for any part of your affection
130
J I see you are..
...determined to be unkind
131
F you raise ideas that...
...feed and justify my doubts
132
F so hasty Julia!...
...so anxious to be free!
133
F if your love were fixed and ardent, you....
...would not lose your hold, even though I wished it!
134
J o, you torture...
...me to the heart!
135
F if I loved you less...
...i should never give you an uneasy moment
136
F women are not used to...
...weigh and separate the motives of their affections
137
F when love receives such countenance from...
...prudence, nice minds will be suspicious of its birth
138
J I have given you...
...no cause for this
139
F what a brute I am..
...to use her thus
140
F how little resolution there is...
...in w woman! How a few soft words can turn them
141
F this is not steadiness...
...but obstinacy
142
F 'twas barbarous and...
...unmanly
143
F and be linked instead to some...
...unique virago, whose growing passions and long hoarded spleen shall make me curse my folly half the day and all the night
144
M a fee gentleman nowadays...
...know how to value the ineffectual qualities in a woman!
145
M few think how a little knowledge...
...becomes a young gentlewoman!
146
M men have no sense...
...now but for the worthless flower of beauty!
147
Jack I fear our ladies should share the blame....
...they think our admiration of beauty so great, and that knowledge in them would be so superfluous
148
Jack like garden trees they...
....seldom show fruit, till time has robbed them of the more specious blossom
149
Jack few, like Mrs malaprop...
...and the Orange tree are rich in both
150
M sir, you overpower...
...me with good breeding
151
M he is the very...
...pine-apple of politeness
152
Jack as for the old weather-beaten...
...she dragon that guards you
153
Jack ridiculous vanity, which makes her...
...dress up her coarse features, and deck her dull chat with words which she don't understand
154
Jack lay her open to the grossest...
...deceptions from flattery and pretended admiration, an impudent coxcomb!
155
Jack I, just in the nick, will have...
...the fellow laid by the heels, and fairly contrive to carry her off on his stead
156
M there is a decorum...
...in these matters
157
M I'll make her behave...
...as becomes a young woman
158
Jack one would think now that I might throw off all disguise at once....
...and seize my prize with security but such is Lydia's caprice, that to undeceive her were to probably lose her
159
L surely nothing can be more dreadful than to...
...be obliged to listen to the loathsome addresses of a stranger to ones heart
160
L I am so astonished! And so terrified!...
...and so overjoyed!
161
L I can't forbear laughing to think how...
....her sagacity is overreached
162
Jack my condescending angel...
...to fix the time when I may rescue her from undeserving prosecution
163
L will you then, Beverly, consent to forfeit...
...that portion of my paltry wealth? That burden on the wings of love?
164
L how charming will...
...poverty be with him!
165
Jack love shall be our...
...idol and support!
166
Jack proud of calamity, we will enjoy...
...the wreck of wealth; while the surrounding gloom of adversity shall make the flame of our pure love show doubly bright
167
Jack I would fling all goods of fortune from me...
...with a prodigal hand, to enjoy the scene where I might clasp my Lydia to my bosom
168
M you ought to know that....
...lying don't become a young woman!
169
Acres dress does make...
...a difference
170
Acres and receive the answer that the...
...lady is to be otherwise disposed of
171
Acres but he has given...
...me no provocation
172
Trigger can a man vomit a more heinous offence...
...against another than to fall in love with the same woman?
173
Trigger it is the most unpardonable...
...breach of friendship
174
T what the devil signifies right...
...when your honour is concerned?
175
Acres I certainly to feel a kind of....
...valour rising as if it were a kind of courage
176
T for though the mansion-house and dirty acres have slipped through...
...my fingers, I thank heaven our honour and family pictures are as fresh as ever
177
A we fight to prevent...
...any misunderstanding
178
T let your courage be as keen, but at the...
...same time as polished as your sword
179
A I must be very careful...
...of my honour!
180
A no gentleman will ever risk...
...the loss of his honour
181
David it would be but civil in honour...
...never to risk the loss of a gentleman
182
David this honour seems to be...
...a marvellous false friend
183
David well my honour makes me...
...quarrel with another gentleman if my acquaintance
184
David I kill him...
...'pray who gets the profit of it? Why, my honour'
185
David I go to the worms....
...and my honour whips over to my enemy
186
Acres your honour follows you...
...to the grave
187
David that's just the place...
...I could make a shift do without it
188
Acres what, shall I disgrace...
...my ancestors?
189
Acres David think what it would...
...be to disgrace my ancestors!
190
David the surest way of not disgracing them is to...
...keep as long as you can out of their company
191
Acres do tell him I am...
...a devil of a fellow will you
192
Acres so tell him I generally kill...
...a man a week
193
Acres that you never saw me in such...
...a rage before, a most devouring rage
194
Acres a determined...
....dog
195
M I insist on your behaving...
...as becomes a young woman
196
M show your good breeding at least...
...though you have not forgot your duty
197
A come to mitigate the frowns...
...of unrelenting beauty
198
A miss Languish has reflected on the...
...worth of this gentleman
199
Jack ah, Tis...
...all over
200
A her brain is...
...turned by reading
201
L so there will be no...
...elopement after all
202
Jack which he now hopes to enjoy in a....
...more elevated character
203
Jack a little wealth and...
....comfort may be endured after all
204
L you have been treating me like...
...a child! Humouring my romance! And laughing, I suppose, at your success
205
L flattered myself...
...that I should outwit and incense them all
206
L my hopes are to be crushed....
....at once by my aunts consent and approbation
207
Jack to be sure, people will say that miss don't...
...know her own mind but never mind that!
208
Jack that the gentleman grew tired...
...of the lady and forsook her but don't let that fret you
209
A poor little Lydia...
...why, you've frightened her
210
Jack I did not think her romance...
...could have made her so damned absurd either
211
F I should have thought her duty and inclination...
....would now have pointed to the same object
212
J when her love eye was fixed on t'other...
...her eye of duty was finely obliqued
213
Jack but when duty bid her point...
...that in the same way, off t'other turned on a swivel
214
F my file tormenting temper has made...
...me treat her so cruelly
215
F oh how I suffer...
...for my folly
216
Jack confound your...
...buts!
217
Jack but you immediately damn...
...it with a but!
218
F women should not sue for...
...reconciliation, that should always come from us
219
F they should retain...
...their coldness till wooed to unkindness
220
Jack a captious sceptic in love, a slave to fretfulness....
...and whim, who has no difficulties but of his own creating, is a subject more fit for ridicule than compassion
221
Jack a poor, industrious devil like...
...me, who have toiled and drudged and plotted to gain my ends
222
F I would not change this too...
...exquisite nicety for the gross content which he tramples on the thorns of love!
223
F I'll use it as the touchstone...
...of Julia's sincerity and disinterestedness
224
F if her love prove pure and sterling ore...
...my name will rest on it with honour
225
F and once I've stamped it there...
...I lay aside my doubts forever!
226
F t'will be best to leave her as a...
...toy for some less cautious fool to sigh for
227
J how many unhappy moments...
...how many tears you have cost me
228
J my soul is oppressed with sorrow...
...at the nature of your misfortune
229
J my heart has long...
...known no other guardian
230
J I now entrust my...
...person to your honour and we will fly together
231
F I am bankrupt...
...in gratitude
232
J I have loved you...
...for yourself
233
J their take I have will be sufficient...
...to support us; and exile never should be splendid
234
F my wounded pride may...
...increase the natural fretfulness of my temper
235
J may teach you to...
...bear the evils of your fortune
236
F with this useless device I...
...throw away all my doubts
237
F this last unworthy effect of...
...my restless, unsatisfied disposition
238
F expiate my past...
...folly by years of tender adoration
239
J cruel...
...doubts
240
J that has wrung...
...my heart
241
J how you have trifled...
...with my sincerity
242
J as cruel as...
...unnecessary
243
J I now see it is not in your...
...nature to be content or confident in love
244
J I had hopes that my persevering attention....
...and unreproaching kindness, might in fact in time reform your temper
245
J I shall pay for your...
...happiness with the truest sincerity
246
J and the dearest blessing I can ask of...
...heaven to send you will be to charm you from that unhappy temper
247
J which alone has prevented...
...the performance of our solemn engagement
248
F she's gone...
...forever
249
F fool! Dolt!...
...barbarian!
250
F cursed as I am with more...
...imperfections than my fellow wretches
251
F like a ruffian...
...I have driven her from my side
252
F kind fortune sent a heaven-gifted...
...cherub to my aid
253
F whose influence, like the moon's, acting....
...on men of dull souls makes idiots of them
254
F but veering subtler spirits...
...betrays their course and urges sensibility to madness!
255
L whatever vexations you may...
...have, i can assure you mine surpass them
256
J had young absolute been the person you took him for, I should not have...
...accepted your confidence on the subject without a serious endeavour to counteract your caprice
257
L the prettiest distress...
...imaginable
258
L to find myself made a...
...mere Smithfield bargain
259
L to go simpering...
...up the alter
260
L in the coldest January, and found him...
...in the garden, stuck like a dripping statue
261
L he shivering with cold...
...and I with apprehension
262
L that was something like...
...being in love
263
J not to let a man, who love you with...
...sincerity, suffer that unhappiness from your caprice
264
J which I know to well...
...caprice can inflict
265
J Lydia is a romantic, a devilish romantic....
...and very absurd of course
266
T that is a very pretty distance...
...a pretty gentleman's distance
267
T there is no merit in...
...killing him so near
268
Acres I'll stand...
...edge ways
269
Acres yes my valour...
...is certainly going!
270
T mr Acres, your valour...
...has oozed away with a vengeance!
271
Acres yes, my valour...
...is certainly going
272
M men are all...
...barbarians
273
F hope is the child...
...of penitence
274
A the delicacy and warmth...
...of his affection for you
275
T no dissatisfied...
...person
276
F the errors of...
...an ill-directed imagination
277
F tortured the...
...heart he ought to have adored
278
Jack the bitters...
...as well as the sweets of love
279
J let us deny its pencil...
....those colours which are too bright to be lasting
280
J when hearts deserving happiness would...
...unite their fortunes, virtue would crown them with an unfading garland of modest, hurtless flowers
281
J but ill-judging passion will force the gaudier rose...
...into the wreath, whose thorn offends them, when it's leaves are dropped!
282
F when delicate souls are separated...
...there is not a feature in the sky, not a movement of the elements, not an aspiration of breeze but hints some cause for a lovers apprehension
