• 0:51
  Speaker 1: meeting Sandford left hand.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Ah Granger by all that's fortunate. I wrote you last
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: night in Devonshire to hasten your return.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Then your letter carrier and ijolstoed each other near one
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: this morning on this side Hounslow, my damn postilion nodding.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: I suppose in his dreams, over the charms of some
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: gress Linda run against the mail and tore off me.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: I'm wheel. I was forced to mount his one eyed hack,
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: and in this curious equipage arrived at three this morning.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: But how has the negotiation with your brother ended? Will
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: he put you in a situation too.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, to take a heat with the gentoo's. He'll speak
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: to Sir Jacob Jagear to get me a commission in
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: the East Indies. And you know everybody grows rich there,
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: and then you know you're a soldier, you a can
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: of fights.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And thus your negotiation ended.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, I had to listen to a very wise dissertation
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: about running out, as he calls it. Five thousand enough
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: for any younger son, but her prodigal. Really, I can't
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: see how I could help it. Jack spit her to
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: be sure, had twelve hundred. The fellow was honest and
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: would have paid, but he married a fine lady so
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: died insolvents. It was not the only accident of the
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: same kind that occurred to me. The purchase of my
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: commission too, the necessary expenses of my last campaign, and
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: the distresses of my fellow's soldiers have swallowed the rest.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Poor Granger. So with a spirit to do honor to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: five thousand a year, thou art not worth it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Shillings severay, should the affair with my dear miss Doyley
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: be crossed, I am the most undone dog on earth.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Well, then, under all circumstances to a friend, I suppose
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: you will frankly confess that her fortune is nearly as
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: much your object as herself.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Why, look, e Sandford, I am not one of those
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: sighing milksops who could live in a cottage on love,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: or sit contentedly under a hedge and help my wife
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: in its stockings. But on the word of a soldier,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: I'd rather marry Elizabeth Doyley with twenty than any other
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: woman on earth with a hundred thousand.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: And the woman must be very unreasonable who would not
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: be satisfied with such a distinction. But Elizabeth's father, as
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: my letter would have informed you, has taken the liberty
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: to choose a son in law without your permission.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Ah a lover. That then is the secret she hinted,
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: and which brought me so hastily to town. Who what is he?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Everything?
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: You are not sure? There is such a mixture of
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: jest and earnest.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Why that he should be your contrast and yet not
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: succeed with the lady is rather a puzzler, to be sure.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Since they became my neighbors in Suffolk, I am in
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: secrets with the whole family, and for your sake have
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: cultivated an intimacy with Abraham Doyley, citizen and slop celler.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: In a word, the father consults me, the daughter complains
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: to me, the cousin romps with me. Can my importance
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: be increased.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: My dear Sanford, the lover, my dear Granger.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: The sum total is this, Old Doyley bred himself in
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: a public seminary. But that being a common charity school
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: swears he'll have a man of downright alarming for his son.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: His caprice makes him regardless of fortune. But Elizabeth's husband
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: must have Latin at his fingers end, and be able
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: to teach his grandsons to sputter and greet.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'll study Hebrew and write odes in Chldy if
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: that will content him. But may I perish if all
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: the pedants in England, with the universities to backham shall
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: rob me of my Elizabeth see here producing a letter
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: an invitation from her own dear hand, this morning, this
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: very hour, in a moment, I shall be at her feet.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Crosses to left hand, go with me through the park.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Oh no, oh, I cry you mercy, you walk, but I.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Fly exit Ranger left hand, Sanford right hand seene to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: an apartment at mister Doyley's Mister and Missus Doyley discovered
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: at breakfast servant waiting.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Here take away, take away. Remember we are not at
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: home to nobody, but to mister Gradis.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: The formal gentleman that was here last night, sir.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, the gentleman that was here last night.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Exit, Servant left hand.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: What I see you are resolved for to have poor
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Gradas's heart, Elizabeth, I never saw you so tricked out
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: in the morning before. But he isn't none of your
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: chaps that's to be catched with a mountain head, nor
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: knots nor gew gauze. No, no, you must mind your
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: p's and ques with him, I can tell you. And
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: don't laugh now when he's with you. You've a confounded
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: knack at laughing. And there is nothing so odious in
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the eyes of a wise man as a great laugher.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Oh, his ideas as reviving as burnt feathers and hysterics.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: I wish I had seen him last night, with all
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: the rust of Oxford about him. He must have been
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: the greatest provocative to mirth.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: How what a provocative to mirth? Why, hussy, he was
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: recommended to me by an anti carry doctor of the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Royal Society. He has finished his learning some time, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: they want him to come and drink and hunt in Shropshire.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Not he. He sticks to al matter. And the college
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: heads have been laid together many a time to know
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: whether he shall be a great judge, a learned physician,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: or a civility doctor.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: Nay, then, sir, if he's all this laughing will be irresistible.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Don't put me in a passion, Betty, don't go far
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: to put me in a passion. What would you have
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a man with an eternal grin upon his face like
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the head of a knocker, and hopping and skipping about
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: like a Dutch doll with quicksilver in its heels. If
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you must have a husband of that sort, so be it.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: You know the rest.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: Surely, sir, tis possible for a man who does not
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: move as if cut in wood, or speak as though
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: he delivered his words by tail, to have breeding, and to.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe, But your man of breeding is not fit
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: for Old Doyley's son. What shall I go for to
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: give the labor of thirty years to a young Jackanapes
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: who'll come into the room with a dancing school step
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: and prate of his grandfather, Sir Thomas, his great grandfather
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the General, and his great great great grandfather, merely because
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I can't tell whether I ever had one or no.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: I hope, sir, that such a man could never engage
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: my pshaw.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Pshaw, you can't pretend for to judge of a man.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: All hypocrites and deceivers.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Except mister Gradis.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Oh. He he's very different from your men of breeding.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I assure you the most extraordinary youth that was ever
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: turned out of college. None of your randands up all night,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: not drinking and wenching. No, in his room, pouring and
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: reading and studying. Oh the joy that I shall have
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: in hearing him talk. I do love learning. I was
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: grieved to the soul, Betty, when thou wert born. I
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: had set my heart upon a boy. And if thou
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: hadst been a boy, thou shaltst have had Greek an
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: algebra in droumtory enough for an archbishop. I am sorry, No, no,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: don't be sorry, be obedient, and AWE will be as
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: it should be. You know I doat on you, you
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: young slut. I left East Cheap for Westminster on purpose
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: to please you, haven't I carried you to bath, bring
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: magham an warly common and all the genteel places. I
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: never grudge you no expense nor no pleasure whatsomever.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Indeed, Sir, you are most indulgent.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Well, then don't thwart me, Betty. Don't go forth thwart me.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: That's all. Since you came into the world and disappointed
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: your father of a son, tis your duty to give
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: him a wise son in law to make up his loss.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: And to Charlotte right hand, missus Taffety, the mentor maker
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: is in your dressing room.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Ma'am, then send her away. She hasn't no time now
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: for miss Taffety.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: I send her away, Charlotte, What does she want? I
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: didn't send for her, Charlotte apart.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: Bless me tis the captain.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Oh heavens, yes, I do remember I I did. I
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: did send for her about the painted lute string.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Bid her come again tomorrow, I.
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: Say, Lord, bless me, Sir, I dare say she can't
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: come again tomorrow. Such mentor makers as missus Taffety won't
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: wait half a dozen times on people. Why, sir, she
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: comes to her customers in a chair of her own unch.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: A footman beats a tattoo at a door as if
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: she was a.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Countess, a mantua maker with her footman in chair. Oh, lud,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: oh lud, I should as soon have expected a duchess
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: in a wheelbarrow.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: Pray, sir, allow me to step and speak to her.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: It is the sweetest gown, and I'd give the world
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: where you as much charmed with it as I am.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Coaxing sluts.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Exert Miss Doyley and Charlotte right.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Hand, where the devil can greatest be. Now, how good
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: fortune never comes in a hurry. If I'd pitched upon
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: your man of breeding, he'd have been here an hour ago,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: sipped his jocklate kissed Elizabeth's fingers, hopped into his carriage,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and a way to his wench to divert her with
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: caricatures of the old fellow and his daughter. Oh, before
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I'd give my gains to one of these puppies, I'd
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: spend them all in building hospitals for lazy laqueys and
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: decayed pimps.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Exit left hand, Scene three, a dressing room, and to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Miss Doyley and Granger right hand.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: A truce to your transports. Perhaps I am too much
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: inclined to believe all you can swear, But this must
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: be a moment of business to secure me to yourself.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: Are you willing to enter into measures.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: That anything everything. I'll have a chaise at the park
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: gating five minutes and we'll be in Scotland, my Elizabeth,
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: before your new lover has settled his address.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Faux foe, you are a mere bungler at contrivance. If
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: you'll be guided by me, my father shall give me
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: to you at Saint James's Church in the face of
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: the world.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Indeed, indeed, I fear to trust my angel Beauty can
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: work miracles with all mankind, but an obstinate father, it
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: is you.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: Who must work the miracle. I have settled the whole
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: affair with my cousin, who has understanding and wit, and
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: you have only to be obedient.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: I am perfectly obedient. Pray give me my lesson.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: Why Luckily you know my father has never seen you.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: He left bath before you had the sauciness and.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: To Charlotte with a bundle left hand.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: There you're finally, God, here's your father, and mister Gradi
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: is actually upon the stairs coming here, zunds.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: Where's the closet, Oh Lord, here's no closet. I shall
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: faint with terror.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: No backstairs, no clothes.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: Press, neither neither. But here I'm your guardian angel and
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: tying the bundle. I told him missus stafferty was here.
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: So without more ceremony, clap on these and my life
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: for it. You'll pass master with my uncle.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Wah, make a woman of me by you, Bisser.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: Lay your comments on him. If he doesn't submit, we
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: are ruined.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: Oh you shall I protest here, I'll put his cap
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: on Doyley.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Without this way, sir, come this way, we'll take her
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: by surprise. Theast preparation is best.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Pulling at the door, Open the door presently, sir, Doyly knocking?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: What the dickens are you doing? I say, open the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: door in a moment.
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: I'm only pinning my cousin's gown. Lord bless me. You
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: hurry on so you have made me prick my finger
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: there Now you may enter.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Opens the door, answered Doyley. In Graida's left hand.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, orly, my daughter's mantua.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Maker Gwineer makes curtseys and goes out left hand, followed
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: by Charlotte.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Here, Elizabeth, this is that, mister Gradis I talk to
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you about? Bless me? I hope you wait till look
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: as white as a candle.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: No, sir, not ill. But this woman has fretted me
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: to death. She has spoiled my gown.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Why then make her pay for it? D'ye hear? It's
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: my belief. If she was to pay for all she spoils,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: she'd soon drop her chair and trudge a foot. Mister Gradis,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: beg pardon, this is my daughter. Don't think the worse
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: of her because she's a little dashed or so bashful.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Miss missus Doyley is the robe of modesty, and modesty,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: as hath been well observed, is a sunbeam on a diamond,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: giving force to its beauty and exalting its luster.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: He was a deep one. I warrant him that said
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: that I remember something like it in the wisdom of Solomon.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Come speak to Elizabeth there, I say, she won't till
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: you've broke the ice.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Madam bows and crosses to center.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Permit me his honor. Believe me, lady, I have more
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: satisfaction in beholding you than I should have in conversing
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: with Grievous and Grenervius. I'd rather possess your approbation than
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: that of the elder Scarlenger and this apartment is more
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: precious to me than was the lyceum portico to the
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: most zealous of the peripatetics.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Doiley asighed, there, show me a man of breeding who
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: could talk.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: So I believe all you have said to be very fine, sir,
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: But unfortunately I don't know the gentleman you mentioned. The
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: education given to women shuts us entirely from such refined acquaintance.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Perfectly right, madam, perfectly right. More simple your education than
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: nearer you approach the pure manners of the purest ages.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: The charms of women were never more powerful, never inspired
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: such achievements as in those immortal periods when they could
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: neither read nor write.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Not read nor write zounds, What a time was that
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: for to bring up a daughter? Why a peeress in
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: those days do not cost so much as a barber's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: daughter in ours. Miss Friz must have her dancing, her French,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: her tambour, her harpsicil, geographraye, her astronomy, whilst her father,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: to support all this, lives upon sprats or once in
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: two years calls his creditors to a composition.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Oh temporum tanto. But these exuberances missed loyally and digitate,
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: unbounded liberty.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Digitate or not if akins. If the ladies would take
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: my advice, they'd returned to their distaffs and grow notable
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: to distinguish themselves from their shopkeeper's wives. Ah.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: It was at the loom and the spinning wheel that
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: the Lucretius and Porsches of the world imbibed their virtue.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: That the mothers of the Gracchi, the Rati, the atmini
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: caught that sacred flame with which they inspired their sons,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: and with the milk of their own pure bosoms, gave
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: them that fortitude, that magnanimity which made them conquerors and kings.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Enter a servant, left hand.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Sir, here's a lord, Lord Pharaoh.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: Doiley aside Lord Pharaoh?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Hum, then the four ases run against him last night. Well,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: the ill luck of some and the fine taste of
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: others makes my money breed like rabbits.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: Sir.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Well, well, I'm coming when the Lord wants money. Who'll
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: wait as patiently as anybody? Well, mister graydis I'm your
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: humble servant, Elizabeth, you understand me.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Exit left hand.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: How unlucky the old gentleman should be called away?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Hm, addressing himself to speak to her, sighed.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: There is something that I say sarcastic. I'd rather pronounce
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: the very phidias than address her, madam.
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: Aside, what can I say?
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, now that's fortunate.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Pulling out some papers, m M, I will.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Venture to request your ideas, madam, on a little autography
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: which I design for the world, sir, in which I
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: have found a new chronometer to prove that Confucius and
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Zuraster were the same person, and that the Pyramids are
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: not so ancient by two hundred years as the world believes.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: Oh, lord, sir, you may as well offer me a
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: sheet of hieroglyphics. Besides, I hate.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Reading, hate reading.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: I to be sure what's reading good for? But to
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: give a stiff, embarrassed air. It makes a man move
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: as if made by a carpenter who had forgot to
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: give him.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: Joints observing him.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: He twirls his hat and bites his thumb, whilst his hearers,
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: his beholders, I mean, are gaping for his wit.
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: Greaters.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Aside the malicious creature, it is my picture she has
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: been drawing, And now he's more impossible for me to
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: speak with than ever.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: For my part, for my part. If I was a man,
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: I'd study only dancing and bon mots, with no other
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: learning than these. He may be light and frolicsome as
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: Lady Airy's ponies, but loaded with Greek philosophy and mathematics.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: He's as heavy and dull as a cart horse, great.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: As a side mena komvoch dear boli.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: Bless me, sir, Why are you silent? My father told
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: me you was a lover. I never saw such a
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: lover in my life. By this time, you should have said,
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: fifty brilliant things, found a hundred similes for my eyes,
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: complexion and wit. Can your memory furnish you with nothing
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: pat no poetry, no heroics? What subject did Porscha's lovers
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: entertain her with while she sat spinning?
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I the lovers of that age, Madam, were igno into
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: frothy compliments. Instead of being gallant, they were brave instead
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: of flattery. They studied virtue and wisdom. It was these, Madam,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: that nerved the Roman arm, that empowered her to drag
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: the nations of the world at her chariot wheels, and
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: that raised to such an exalted.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: Height that down she tumbled in the dust. And there
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: I beg you'll leave her? Was ever anything so monstrous?
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: I ask for a compliment, and you begin an oration,
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: an oration on a parcel of stiff warriors and formal pennance. Why, sir,
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: there's not one of these brave, wise, godlike men, but
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: will appear as ridiculous in a modern assembly as a
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: judge in his long wig and Macaroni jacket.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Greaders sighed, Now I am damingen.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Oh that I had you at brazen nose, madam, I
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: could manage you there.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: What now you're in the pouts? Sir, tis mighty well,
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: bless us? What a life a wife must lead with
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: such a bean? Hang me if I would not sooner
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: marry the bust of Seneca in bronze, than I should
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: have all the gravity and coldness of wisdom without its impertinence.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: For the impertinence of wisdom, surely, madam, or I am
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: much deceived, you possess a mind capable of Now.
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: I see by the twist of your chin, sir, you
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: are beginning another oration. But I protest I will never
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: hear you speak again till you have forsworn those tones
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: and that manner. Go, sir, throw your books into the fire,
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: Turn your study into a dressing room, hire a dancing master,
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: and grow agreeable.
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: Exit right hand Plato Aristotle Zeno, I abjure ye, a
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: girl bred in a nursery and who sold the sick
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: good lamp of knowledge has scarcely shed its faintest rays
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: hath vanquished and struck dumb, the most faithful of your disciples.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: And to Charlotte left hand, here's.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Another she devil i'd assume encounter as she.
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: Wolf going stay, sir, pray an instant, Lord, bless me, am.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: I such a scarecrow. I was never run from by
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: a young man before in my life.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Pulls him back.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: I resolve and sore to run from your whole sex, youth,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: and beauty are only other names of coquetry and affectation.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Let me go, madam crosses to left hand.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: You have beauty and doubtless all that belongs to it.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: Lord, you've a mighty pretty whimsical way of complimenting. Miss
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: Doyley might have discerned something in you worth cherishing in
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: spite of that husk of scholarship. Indeed, positively I have
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: listened to your conversation, and I can't help being concerned
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: that talents which ought to do your honor, should, by
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: your mismanagement, be converted into downright ridicule knowledge as you
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: manage it is a downright bore bore.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: What relation can there be between knowledge and a hog?
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Lord, bless me? How ridiculous you have spent your time
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: in learning the dead languages and ignorant of the living. Why, sir, or,
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: is all the.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Ton ton ton? What may that be? It cannot be orthology.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: I do not recollect its route in the parent languages.
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: Better and better? Why sir ton means ton is what
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: signifies where the root is. These kinds of words are
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: the shorthand of conversation and convey whole sentences at once.
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: All one likes is ton, and all one hates is pore.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: And you set a divine medium which portrays our minds
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: and makes us first in the animal climax. If speech
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: becomes so obitrary.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: That divine medium, animal climax, you know very well the
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: use of language is to express one's likes and dislikes.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: And the pig will do this as effectually by its
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: squeak or hang with her cackle as you with your
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: Latin and Greek.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: What can I say to you.
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: Nothing but yield yourself to my guidance, and you shall
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: conquer mistily.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Madam, I'll take you for my minerva, cover me with
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: your shield, and lead me to battle in.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: The first place, leading him to a glass in the
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: first place, did you ever see a cupid in a grizzle? Wig?
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: I perceive my era the vertaries of love commence a
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: new childhood, and dignity would be as unbecoming in them
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: as a hornpipe to a Socrates. But have it to say,
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: strong that to gain an empress I could not assume
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: that caress air. That's promptly expression.
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: Then you may give up the pursuit of miss Doyley.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: It is mister Doyley who will Mister.
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: Doyley ridiculous depend on it. He'll let her marry just
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: whom she will this, mister Graters, says he. Why I
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: don't care a groad whether you marry him or no,
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: says he. There are fifty young fellows at Oxford who
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: can talk Greek as well as he. Indeed, I have
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: heard a good account of the young man, says he.
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: But all I ask of you is to receive two
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: visits from him, no more than two visits if you
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: don't like him. So if you do, I'll give you
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: half my fortune on the day of marriage, and the
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: rest at my death.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: What a singularity to limit me to two visits. One
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: is already passed, and she hates me. What can I
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: expect from the other?
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: Everything? It is a moment that decides the fate of
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: a lover. Now fancy me, Miss Doyley, swear I'm a divinity.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: Then take my hand and press it thus heavens.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Her touch has thrilled me.
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: And if I should powder and resent the liberty, make
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: your apology on my lips.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Gratus coutes her in his arms and kisses her.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: So so you have fire, I perceive.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: Can you give me any more lessons?
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: Yes, but this is not the place. I have a friend,
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: mister Sandford, whom you saw here last night. You shall
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: dine with him. He will initiate you at once in
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: the fashionable rage, and teach you to trifle agreeably. You
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: shall be equipped from his wardrobe to appear here in
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: the evening a man of the world. Adieu to grizzles,
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: and except left hand, and of act one act too,
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: of whose The Dupe by Hannah Cowley This is librox

• 30:26
  Speaker 7: not to volunteer. Please visit librox dot org. Act two
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: seen one a drawing room integradus, led by Charlotte and
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: followed by mister Sandford. Left hand, Well, I protest this
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: is an improvement. Why what with settings and tassels and
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: spangles and foils, You look as fine as a chemist's
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: shot by candlelight.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Madam do you approve? Oh?
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: Amazingly, I'll run and send Miss Doyley to admire you.
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: Exit.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Right hand graders looking in a glass.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, if our proctor could now behold me, you would
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: never believe that figure to be jeremy graders.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Very true, and I give you joy. No one would
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: conceive you'd ever been within a gunshot of a college.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: What must I do with this?
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Your chapeaubras were it? Thus these hats are for the arm?
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Only a hat for the arm? What a subversion of ideas?
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: And mister Sandford, if the sumptuary laws of La curgis
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: damn it?
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Will you never leave off your college? Can't? I'll tell
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: you once more? And by Jupiter, if you don't attend me,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: I'll give you up, I say you must forget such
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: fellows ever existed, that there was ever a language but English,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: a classic but ovid, or a volume but his Art
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: of Love.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: I will endeavor to form myself from your instructions. But
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: tarry with me. I intrude you. If you should leave me.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I won't leave you. Here's your mistress, now, greatest, stand
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: to your arms.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: I'll do my best.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And to miss Doyly right hand.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Hush, you're devoted. Allow me, madame, to introduce a gentleman
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: to you, in whose affairs I am particularly interested.
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: Mister Gradis, Mister Gradith, Is it possible, gradst Niels be.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Not astonished, O, lovely maiden at my sudden change. Beauty
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: is a talisman which works true miracles, and without a fable,
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: transforms mankind.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: Your transformation, I fear is too sudden to be lasting.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Transformation resplendent virgo, brightest constellation of the starry zone. I
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: am but now created. Your charms, like the Promethean fire,
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: have warmed the claude to life and wrapped me to
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: a new existence.
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: Rises.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: But may I be sure you'll never take up your
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: old rest again?
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: Never sooner shall trus with the pisces join Copernicus to
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: ptolemy resign their spheres, and I be what I was.
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: Miss Doyley sighed, I shall burst.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Well you've hit it off tolerably for a cud dessar,
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: but pray the greatest. Can't you talk in a style
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: less fustian? You remember how those fine fellows conversed you
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: saw at dinner, No sentences, no cramp words, All was
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: ease and impudence.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Yes, I remember. Now the shell is burst. I shall
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: soon be fledged.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Doyley entering starts back middle door.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Why who the dickens have we here?
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: So there's the old genius.
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: But I am convinced. Now, I am convinced. Now this
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: is all put on in your heart. You are still
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: mister Gradis.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, madam, still Gradest, But not that stiff, scholastic fool
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: you saw this morning. No. No, I've learned to the
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: acquisitions of which your father is so ridiculously fond our
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: useless lumber, that a man who knows more than his
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: neighbors is in danger of being shut out of society,
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: or at best, I've been invited to deny once in
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: a twelvemonth, to be exhibited like an antique bronze or
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: a porridge pot from herculeanum.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Doyley behind zounds tis he I'm all over in a
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: cold sweat.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: And don't you think learning the greatest blessing in the world?
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Not I, truly, madam, learning a vile boar.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Doyley aside, do I stand upon my head or my heels.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: I shall leave all those fo to the graybeards at college.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: Let them chop logic or make English hashes out of
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: stale Hebrew till they starve for me.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: This is your resolution, fixed as exire on his wheel.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: I have no study now.
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: But the ton Doiley aside.
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: Indeed, how different from what you was this morning?
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Oh mention it? Not I aborm my former self matter
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: more than you can witness now the recantation of my errors. Learning,
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: with all its tribe of solemn popperies, I abjure, abjure forever.
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: Doiley aside?
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: The study of what is vulgarly called philosophy may suit
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: a monk, but it is as unbecoming a gentleman as
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: a load of dice or a brass hilted sword.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Doiley aside, learning and becoming a gentleman very well Hebrew?
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: I leave to the jew rabbis, Greek, to the bench
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: of bishops, Latin, to the apothecars, and astronomy, to almanac.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Makers, better and better.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: The mathematics mixed pure, speculative and practical with their whole
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: circle of sciences. I can sign in a lump to
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: old men who want blood and to young ones who
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: want bread. And now you've heard my whole.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Abjuration, Doyley rushing forward.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I have heard too, I have heard, oh,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: that I should ever have been such adult as to
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: take thee for a man of learning.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Mister Doyley, what don't.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Be dashed, man, Go on with your abjurations. Do yes,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: you'll make a shine in a tone that ever I
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: should have been such an income poop, My.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Dear mister Doyley, do not be in a heat. How
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: can a man of your discernment now look at Kradis.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he's a much prettier fellow than he was.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: His figure and his manner are quite different things.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I can see that. I can see that
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: why he has turned little ASoP upside down. He's the
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: lion in the skin of an ass walking about.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: I must retrieve myself in his opinion, the skin, mister
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Doyley may be put off, and be assured that the
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: mind which has once felt the sacred energies of wisdom,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: though it may assume for a moment so.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: So Sandford apart Harkey, sir, that won't do by heaven.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: If you play retrograde, I'll forsake you on the spot.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: You are ruined with your mistress in a moment, Dear.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Madam, believe me that, as for what can I say?
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: How assimilate myself to two such opposite tastes? I stand
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: reeling here between two characters, like a substantive, between two adjectives.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: You you for to turn Fopp and Macarny. Why twould
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: be a natural for a jew Rabin to turn Parson
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: an elephant in pinners a bishop with a rattle and
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Bell's couldn't behave more posterous.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Nay thou, my dear mister Doyley.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Dear me, no, DearS, Why if I wanted a macarony
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I might have had choice. Every alley from Hyde Park
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: to Shadwell Dock swarms with him genuine and ye think
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I'll have an amphibious thing half and half like the
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: sea calf at Sir Ashton's.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, if that's all, one hundred to ten grads will
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: soon be as complete a character as if he had
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: never learnt his alphabet or known more of the classics
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: than their names.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, I warrant him. Now, what do you think of
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: the scratchy, the heresy, and the rest of em?
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: I oh, a mere boar, a parcel of brawny untaught
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: fellows who knew no more of life than they did
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: of Chinese. If they had stood candidates a full rank
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: in a college of taste, they'd been returned Ignorantoa, were
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: they not? Madam?
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: Oh, certainly I would kiss the fellow. He has entered
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: into my plot with such spirit.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Exit right hand.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Why you've been in wonderful haste to get rid of
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: the in greater part, But as it happened, that was
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: the only part I cared for. So now you may
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: carry your hogs to another market. They won't do for.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Me my hogs.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Ay, you're bores, your improvements, your fashionable heirs. You're in short,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: you are not the man I took you for. So
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: you may trot back to college again. Go mister and
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: teach him the tone do lord? Hell, they'll stare Jeremy
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: gradus or the monkey returned from travel.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Sandford aside to gradest upon my honor.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: You are too severe. Leave us, man, leave us. I'll
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: settle your affair.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I warrant gradst Aside to Sandford.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: Not so easily. I fear he sticks to his point
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: like a rusty weathercock. All my dependence is on the lady.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: You'll allow Greatest to speak to miss Doyley.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Oh ay, to be sure, the more he speaks, the
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: less she'll like him. Here shall mister Grads the dressing.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Room crosses to left hand, exit Greatest right hand.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Give her another dose? Surfeit her by all means? Why sure,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: mister Sandford, you had no hand in trancedmorgrafrying thee.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Yes faith I had. I couldn't endure the idea of
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: seeing your charming daughter tied to a collection of Greek
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: apathem and Latin quotations, so I endeavored to Englishim Englisham?
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: I take it shocking ill of you, mister Sandford, that
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: I must tell you here are all my hopes gone
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: like a whiff of tobacco.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: My dear mister Doyley, this attachment of yours to scholarship.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Is a mere whim whim. Well suppose it is, I
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: will have my whim worked hard forty years and saved
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: about twice as many thousand pounds. And if so much
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: labor and so much money won't entitle a man to whim,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the devil.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: Should nor I either.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sure to tell you a bit of a secret.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Lack of learning has been my great detriment. If I'd
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: been a scholar. Is no knowing what I might have
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: got My plum might have been too my.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Why doubtless a little classical knowledge might have been useful
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: in driving your boggains for russiateallo and whale blubba.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Aye, to be sure, and I do verily believe it
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: hindered me from being Lord Mayor. Only think of that
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Lord Mayor of London. How so why I attended the
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: common Council and all the parish meetings for fifteen years
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: without daring for to make one parrangue. At last the
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Westry was called about choosing of a turncock. So now
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: thinks I I'll show him what I'm good for. Our
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: alderman was in the purples, so thinks I if he
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: tips off, why not I as well as another. So
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I'll make a speech about patrons and then acts for
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: their votes, very judicious, if you'll believe me. I got
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: up three times silence, says mister Crier, and my tongue
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: grew so dry with fright that I couldn't wag it.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: So I was forced to squat down again midst horse laughs,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: and they nicknamed me dummy through the whole ward wicked rogues.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Well, I ask your pardon. I had no idea of
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: these important reasons. Yet how men differ now? The family
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: of Sir Wilford Granger are quite stressed by the obstinate
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: attachment to the sciences of that young fine fellow I
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: told you of this morning.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Ay, what's he? Sir Wilfrid Grainger's son knows his father
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: very well kept a fine study of horses, and lost
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: many thousands by it, lent him money many a time.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Good man, always punctual, ay.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Sir, But this youth disappointed all his hopes. Oh, it
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: gave his father great trouble.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Great trouble. Dear me, dear me, I always thought Sir
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Wilfrid had been a wiser man. Why I would have
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: given the world for such a son.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Sandford beside, he swallows it rarely.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, he piques himself on trifles as reading the Greek
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: and Latin authors in their own tongues, and mastering all
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: the quibbles of our English philosophers.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: English philosophers, I wouldn't give a farthing for them.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Why, sure, you have heard of a Bacon, a Locke,
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: a Newton Newton.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, I I have heard of Sir Isaac. Everybody has
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: heard of Sir Isaac, great man, master of the mint.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, Sir, this youth has found a dozen mistakes in
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: his theories, and proved him wrong in one or two
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: of his calculations. In short, he is advised to give
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: the world a system of his own, in which, for aught,
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: I know he'll prove the earth to be concave instead
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: of spherical, and the moon to be no bigger than
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: a punch bowl.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Doyley sighed, he's the man, He's the man. Looky, mister Sandford,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: you've given a description of this young fellow that's set
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: my blood in a ferment. Do you now, my dear friend,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: do you think now that you could prevail upon him
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: to marry my daughter? Why?
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know, neither beauty nor gold has charms for him. Knowledge,
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: Knowledge is his mistress.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Aye. I'm sorry for that, yet I'm glad of it too.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Now see what you can do with him? See what
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: you can do with him?
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: Well, well, i'll try. He promised to call on me
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: here this evening, on his way to the museum. I
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: don't know whether he isn't below.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Now below now, if I can, it's lucky, hang me.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: If it isn't, do go in and speak to him
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: a bit and bring him up, Bring him up, Tell
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: him if he'll marry Elizabeth, I'll give him that is,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: I'll leave him every farthing I have in the world.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: Well, since you are so very earnest, I'll see what
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: I can do.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Exit left hand, thank'ee, thank'ee.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: I'll bring him twice as many books as a college library.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: But what I'll bribe him that I will What the
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: dickens can Elizabeth be about? With that thing there? That greatest?
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: He's a man of learning. Hang me if I don't
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: believe his head's as hollow as my cane. Sure she
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: can't have taken a fancy to the smattering monkey. Oh,
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: there they are here he comes. Why there's Greek and
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: algebra in his face and a sun.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: And Granger dressed in black left hand.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Mister Granger, you're a very humble servant, sir. I'm very
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: glad to see you, sir.
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: I thank you, sir.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: I knew your father, Sir, as well as a beggar
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: knows his dish. Mayhap mister Sandford told you that I
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: wanted for to bring you and my doctor acquainted. I'll
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: go and call her.
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: In tis unnecessary, Doyley apart, he seems a mighty silent.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: Man studying studying ten to one is forming a discourse
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: in Arabic or revolving one of Euclid's problems.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Couldn't you set him talking a bit? I long for
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: to hear him talk.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Come man, forget the old sages a moment. Can't the
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: idea of miss Doyley give a fillip to your imagination?
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: Miss Doyley, I'm informed, is as lovely as one can be.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: But what is woman? Only one of nature's agreeable blunders?
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: Doiley aside?
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Hm? That smacks of something? Why as to that, mister Granger,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: a woman with no portion, but her whims might be
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: but a kind of a jew's bargain. But when fifty
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: thousand is popped into the scale, she must be bad. Indeed,
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: if her husband does not find her a pennyworth.
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: With man of the world, mister Doyley, fifty thousand pounds
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: might have their weight, But in the balance of philosophy,
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: gold is light as deflogisticated air.
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: Doiley aside, that's deep.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: I can make nothing of it. That must be deep,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: mister Granger. The great accounts I have heard of your life,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: learning and whatnot has made me willing for to be
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: akin to you.
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: Mister Sanford suggested to me your design, sir, and as
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: you have so nobly proposed your daughter as the prize
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: of learning, I have an ambition to be related to you,
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: Doyley sighed.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: But I'll see a bit farther into him though. First,
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: now pray, mister Granger, pray now, ah.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: I say, aside to Sandford.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Ask him some deep question that he may show himself
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: a bit.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Sandford, beside, what the devil?
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Shall I say a deep question? You would have it?
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: Let me see, oh Granger, is it your opinion that
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: the ancient antipodes walked, erect or crawled on or falls.
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: A thinking man always does? Are the best informations concur
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: that they were quadrupeds during two revolutions of the sun,
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: and bipeds ever after.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Doiley decide what pds bipds? What a fine man he is?
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: A surprising transformation.
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: Not more surprising than the transformation of an aruka to
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: a chrysalis, a chrysalis to a nymph, and a nymph
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: to a butterfly.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Doiley side there again? I see it will do? I
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: see it will do. I that I will hang me
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: if I.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Don't exit, chuckling and laughing right hand?
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: What's he gone off for so abruptly for his dot?
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: I hope give you joy, my dear fellow. The nymph
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: ruka the chrysalis have won the day.
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: How shall I bound my happiness? My dear Sandford? That
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: was the luckiest question about the anti pote.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, pretty successful. Have you been at your studies?
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: I've been in the dictionary this half hour and have
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: picked up cramped words enough to puzzle Andy. Like the
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: old gentleman the remainder of his life. Here he is
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: Faith and Elizabeth with him. I hear her dear footsteps. Oh,
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: how shall.
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: I Doyley without come along?
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: I say, what a plague? Are you so modest?
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: For?
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Come?
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: In here pulls and Greatest by the arm right hand.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: Here, I've brought him one of your own kidney. Now
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: I'll lay you a gallon that you can't guess what
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: I've brought him for. I've brought him for to pit
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: him against you to Granger. See which of you two
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: is the most.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Learned Granger aside the Sandford.
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: Ten thousand devils, plagues and furies.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Here's a blow up.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Why for all he looks so like an income poop
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: in this pie picket jacket. He's got his knottle full
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: of Greek and algebra and them things. Why, Greatest, don't
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: stand aloof man? This is a brother scholar, I tell you.
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: A scholar all who have earned the distinction of my brethren, Carricine,
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: Frater Goodati the daddy.
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: Sir, you a most obedient sighed. I wish thou worst
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: in the bottom of the red sea, and the largest
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: folio in thy library of ear thy neck.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: For Heaven's sake, mister Doyley, what do you mean mean?
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: Why? I mean for to pit him, to be sure,
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: and to give Elizabeth to the winner. Toutch him up,
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: touch him up to Granger, show him what a fool
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: he is well.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: Sure you won't set them together by the.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Ears, No, no, But I am resolved to set them
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: together by the tongues. To cut the business short, mister
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: graydis you are to be sure a great dab at
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: larning and what not. But I'll bet my daughter and
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: fifty thousand to boot that Granger beats y, and he
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: that winds shall have.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Her granger sighed.
• 53:57
  Speaker 5: Heavens, what a steak tis sufficient to inspire adult with
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: the tongues of peeble, My.
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: Dear friend, think of the indelicacy.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: Fiddle d d I tell you I will have my
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: whim and so greatest Sir off by Jenkin. You'll find
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: it a tough business to beat Granger. He is one
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: of your genius men, going to write a book about
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Sir Isaac and the moon and the devil knows what.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: And to Miss Doyley and Charlotte right hand.
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: If so, the more glorious will be my victory. Come, sir,
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: let us enter the lists, since it must be so
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: for this charming.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Prize, pointing to Miss Doyley.
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: Choose your weapons Hebrew, Greek, Latin or English. Name your subject.
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: We will pursue it psylogistically or socratically as.
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: You please, Granger aside, curse your syllogism's hands, so criticisms.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: No, no, I'll not have no English. What a plague
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: every shoe black jabber's English. So give us a touch
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: of Greek to set off with. Come greatest you begin.
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: If it is merely a recitation of Greek that you want,
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: you shall be gratified. An epigram that occurs to me
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: will give you an idea of that sublime language. Pandageno sky,
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: pantaconi skypandertomiden, panta garig so ologan estemina.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Ponta try potry. Why that's all about the pantry? What
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: your grecias love titbits mayhappen, But that's low, I Sandford, oh.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: Cursed low. He might as well have talked about a
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: pig stye.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: Come Granger, now for it, Elizabeth and fifty pounds.
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: You, sir, I I am not much prepared. I could wish,
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: I could wish apart Sanford.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: Zounds say something anything.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Waity twity, what at a stand? Why sure you can
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: talk Greek as well as greatest.
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: Tis a point I cannot decide. You must determine it now,
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: impudence embrace me with thy sevenfold shield, Xanthus. I remember,
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: in describing such a night as this.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: Xanthus, you surely err Homer mentions but one being of
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: that name except a river.
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: That he was a horse, Sir, he was an orator,
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: and such an one that Homer records the gods themselves
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: inspired him.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: True, sir, but your race, deny, come, come, I shouldn't
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: have no brow beating. Nobody offered for to contradict you,
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: So begin to granger what said orator Xanthus?
• 57:15
  Speaker 5: You lucid orb in ether pencile irradiates the expanse refulgence,
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: scintillations in the ambient void opaque emit, humid splendor, chrysoli, spheroids,
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: the horizon versify, astifarious constellations, nocturnal sporads in refrigerated radii
• 57:45
  Speaker 5: illumine our orb's terrain.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: There they're well spoke. Granger, now greadest beat that.
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: I am enrapped in astonishment you are imposed on, sir.
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: Instead of classical language, you have heard of rant in English?
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: English zounds. You take me for a fool. You think
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know my other mother tongue twas no more
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: like English than I am like Whittington's cat.
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: It was every syllable English.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: There's impudence. There wasn't no word of it English. If
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: you take that for English, devil, take me if I
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: believe there was a word of Greek in all your
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: tri pantries.
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, the torture of ignorance.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: He can rent, come, come, none of your tricks upon travelers.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: I know you mean all that as a skits upon
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: my education. But I'll have you to know, sir, that
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: I'll read the hardest chapter of Nehemiah with you for
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: your ears.
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: I repeat that you are imposed on mister Sanford. I
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: appeal to you.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: And I appeal Nay, gentlemen, mister Doyley is your judge
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: in all disputes concerning the vulgar tongue.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: Ay, to be sure, I am who cares for your appeals.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: I appeal too, and I tell you I won't be
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: imposed on here, Elizabeth. I have got ye a husband
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: at last, to my heart's content him, Sir.
• 59:30
  Speaker 6: You presented that gentleman to me this morning, and I
• 59:33
  Speaker 6: have found such a fund of merit and him.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: And he what in that beau bookworm that argues me down?
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know English, don't go for to provoke me.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: Bid that mister Granger welcome to my house. He'll soon
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: be master on it.
• 59:53
  Speaker 6: Sir, in obedience to the commands of my father.
• 59:56
