BECOMING AMERICA REVOLUTIONARY AND EARLY NATIONAL PERIOD LITERATURE DIMPLE Possibly I might—but something of so very triing a nature that I have already forgot what it was. I believe she has not forgot it. LETITIA DIMPLE My dear creature, how can you for a moment suppose I should have any serious thoughts of that triing, gay, ighty coquette, that disagreeable— Enter CHARLOTTE. DIMPLE My dear Miss Manly, I rejoice to see you; there is a charm in your conversation that always marks your entrance into company as fortunate. Where have you been, my dear? LETITIA CHARLOTTE Why, I have been about to twenty shops, turning over pretty things, and so have left twenty visits unpaid. I wish you would step into the carriage and whisk round, make my apology, and leave my cards where our friends are not at home; that, you know, will serve as a visit. Come, do go. LETITIA So anxious to get me out! but I’ll watch you. [Aside.] Oh! yes, I’ll go; I want a little exercise. Positively [Dimple oering to accompany her], Mr. Dimple, you shall not go; why, half my visits are cake and caudle visits; it won’t do, you know, for you to go. [Exit, but returns to the door in the back scene and listens.] DIMPLE This attachment of your brother to Maria is fortunate. CHARLOTTE How did you come to the knowledge of it? I read it in their eyes. DIMPLE CHARLOTTE And I had it from her mouth. It would have amused you to have seen her! She, that Page | 638
BECOMING AMERICA REVOLUTIONARY AND EARLY NATIONAL PERIOD LITERATURE thought it so great an impropriety to praise a gentleman that she could not bring out one word in your favour, found a redundancy to praise him. DIMPLE I have done everything in my power to assist his passion there: your delicacy, my dearest girl, would be shocked at half the instances of neglect and misbehaviour. CHARLOTTE I don’t know how I should bear neglect; but Mr. Dimple must misbehave himself indeed, to forfeit my good opinion. DIMPLE Your good opinion, my angel, is the pride and pleasure of my heart; and if the most respectful tenderness for you, and an utter indierence for all your sex besides, can make me worthy of your esteem, I shall richly merit it. CHARLOTTE All my sex besides, Mr. Dimple!—you forgot your tete-a-tete with Letitia. DIMPLE How can you, my lovely angel, cast a thought on that insipid, wry-mouthed, ugly creature! CHARLOTTE But her fortune may have charms? DIMPLE Not to a heart like mine. The man, who has been blessed with the good opinion of my Charlotte, must despise the allurements of fortune. I am satised. CHARLOTTE DIMPLE Let us think no more on the odious subject, but devote the present hour to happiness. CHARLOTTE Can I be happy when I see the man I prefer going to be married to another? DIMPLE Have I not already satised my charming angel, that I can never think of marrying Page | 639
