From The Englishman from Paris by Arthur Murphy

male · sarcastic · 41 sec

(Takes a chair and sits) Why look ye young Man, your Father is my old Acquaintance, and as he propos'd this Match, I had as soon marry my Daughter into Sir Robert Broughton's Family, as any at all--but I then must not throw my Girl away and I must like the Man before I settle her for Life do you see? (Jack: Ma foi, voila un homme sans façon, sans Ceremonie--I'll sit down too.) But your French Education, young Gentleman, I am afraid won't recommend you to me. Odds my Life, it seems to have made a downright coxcomb of you.
