Scene VII.

The Way of the World

by William Congreve





MRS. MILLAMANT, MRS. FAINALL.

MRS. FAINALL
Yonder Sir Wilfull's drunk, and so noisy that
my mother has been forced to leave Sir Rowland to appease him; but he
answers her only with singing and drinking. What they may have done
by this time I know not, but Petulant and he were upon quarrelling as
I came by.

MILLAMANT
Well, if Mirabell should not make a good husband,
I am a lost thing: for I find I love him violently.

MRS. FAINALL
So it seems; for you mind not what's said to
you. If you doubt him, you had best take up with Sir Wilfull.

MILLAMANT
How can you name that superannuated lubber?
foh!
