(LOVEYET: Consummate impudence! --Miss Trueman's character is well known, sir.) Miss Trueman's character! Demme, sir, do you mean to say anything against her character? (LOVEYET: No;--and I will take care you shall not, with impunity.) You are the most unmannerly fellow I ever convers'd with, 'pan hanor.
