Worthnought Monologue from The Politician Out-Witted

From The Politician Out-Witted by Samuel Low

If Miss Tabitha has such an antipathy to barrenness, she will not be offended at my subject, which is a very prolific one, I assure you; for Miss Trueman is on the verge of bearing a son. (CANTWELL: Oh, horrid! What will this wicked world come to at last!--A good-for-nothing, wanton hussy.) Very true, madam:--by persons of easy notions of virtue, indeed, it would be considered a trifling faux pas, as the French call it; a perfect bagatelle; or, at most, a superficial act of incontinency; but to those who have such rigid notions of virtue as Miss Cantwell, for example, or Miss Herald, or their humble servant; it appears quite another thing, quite another thing, ladies:--though it is one of my foibles;--I own it is a fault to be so intalerably nice about the affairs of women; but it is a laudable imperfection, if I may be allowed the phrase;--it is erring on the safe side, for women's affairs are delicate things to meddle with, ladies.
