From The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Oh, you flatter me, sir--you compliment--'tis my modesty, you know, sir,--my modesty that has stood in my way. Sir ANTHONY Well, I am glad you are not the dull, insensible varlet you pretended to be, however!--I'm glad you have made a fool of your father, you dog--I am. So this was your penitence, your duty and obedience!--I thought it was damned sudden!--You never heard their names before, not you!--what, the Languishes of Worcestershire, hey?--if you could please me in the affair it was all you desired!--Ah! you dissembling villain!--What!-- She squints, don't she?--a little red-haired girl!--hey?--Why, you hypocritical young rascal!--I wonder you ain't ashamed to hold up your head!
