There's her portrait behind me. I can't turn my head. Quin, bring me my mirror. [Mr. Talon studies the brilliant lady rather doubtfully. (PANTALOON: I trust she loves your lordship?) Gad's life! I never asked her. A monstrous unfair thing to ask of any woman of the world. (PANTALOON: Doubtless she is grateful for the sacrifice you make.) I hope not. [Quin now has the mirror placed so that Eglantine can view his bride-to-be. It reflects other matters of importance, too. Ah... is that the new wig on the block? Vastly good!
