Don't allude to the matter, I beg. In the refined society of Lady P., your wife will receive more instruction from the force of example than could be accomplished by any system. We'll leave them together, as I wish to have a little conversation with you on the state of the nation. (SIR W: I'll attend your lordship with pleasure.) (to LADY PLATO) Adieu, my dearest, for a few moments--you will, I know, prefer a little freedom with your old acquaintance. Lady Evergreen will, I'm sure, excuse us. (MAR: Oh yes! and thank you for going.) Frank, at any rate! You'll be delighted with Lady Plato. (to SIR WILLIAM) Such refinement! such intellect! Gigantic, Sir, gigantic!--and such angelic sweetness!
