From Pride and Prejudice, a play founded on Jane Austen's novel by Steele, Mrs. MacKaye

Oh, Mr. Darcy--would you be so good as to go to Charles? He wishes very much to consult with you about some of the table arrangements. You will find him in the dining-parlour. (With exaggerated politeness to (ELIZABETH: Oh, certainly.) [To ELIZABETH, after a moment's silence.) So, Miss Bennet, I hear that you are quite delighted with George Wickham. He must have told you all a pretty tale. As to Mr. Darcy's using him ill, it is perfectly false. I do not know the particulars, but I do know that George Wickham has treated Mr. Darcy in a most infamous manner. His coming into the county at all is a most insolent thing. I feel very strongly on this point, Miss Bennet, as Mr. Darcy's interests are so intimately associated with our own. (She watches ELIZABETH.) We hope Miss Georgiana Darcy may some day be my sister. My brother admires her greatly. (ELIZABETH: Ah!) Yes, and therefore we resent these falsehoods and this presumption on the part of George Wickham. But, really, considering his descent, we could not expect much better. He has evidently forgotten to tell you that he is the son of old Wickham, steward to the late Mr. Darcy.
