From The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

female · comedic · 57 sec

There, Sir Lucius. Sir LUCIUS Sir--there is often a sudden incentive impulse in love, that has a greater induction than years of domestic combination: such was the commotion I felt at the first superfluous view of Sir Lucius O'Trigger.--Very pretty, upon my word.--Female punctuation forbids me to say more, yet let me add, that it will give me joy infallible to find Sir Lucius worthy the last criterion of my affections. Delia. Upon my conscience! Lucy, your lady is a great mistress of language. Faith, she's quite the queen of the dictionary!--for the devil a word dare refuse coming at her call--though one would think it was quite out of hearing.
