My dear Mr. Frankton! Did I say so? Why I could not say more of him, were he my husband. (HARRIET: If you conform to custom, you would not say so much of a husband.) But I did not say any such thing. Says I, you must know, my dear Harriet---- (HARRIET: No, no, there was no Harriet mentioned.) But I say there was--so, as I was going to tell you, you must know, my dear Harriet, that Mr. Frankton sat opposite to me at the theatre; and as he seem'd to be very much chagrin'd at the attention which was paid me by a couple of beaux, I took some pains to mortify him a little; for, tho' he strove to hide his uneasiness by chattering, and whispering, and tittering, and shewing his white teeth, his embarrassment was very visible under his affected unconcern.
