no small advantage to a girl who brings her face to market。              Then I shall 

perhaps make an acquaintance�察�and that's no small victory gained over one 

who never addresses any but the wildest of her sex。             But my chief aim is�察�

to   take   my   gentleman   off   his   guard�察  �and�察  �like   an   invisible   champion   of

voice so that he may mistake that�察�as he has already mistaken your person�拭�

scarce a moment's repose。         If I go to the best room�察�there I find my host

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               Perhaps the other gentleman called�察�sir�拭�

    MARLOW。          I tell you�察�no。 

    MISS   HARDCASTLE。              I   should   be  glad   to   know�察 �sir。 We    have 

such a parcel of servants� �

    MARLOW。          No�察�no�察�I tell you。     ��Looks full in her face。��      Yes�察�child�察�

I   think  I  did  call。  I   wantedI    wantedI    vow�察  �child�察 �you   are  vastly 

handsome。 

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               O la�察�sir�察�you'll make one ashamed。 

    MARLOW。          Never   saw   a   more   sprightly   malicious   eye。   Yes�察  �yes�察�

my dear�察�I did call。     Have you got any of yourawhat d'ye call it in the 

house�拭�

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               No�察 �sir�察 �we  have  been out   of   that these ten 

days。 

    MARLOW。          One may call in this house�察�I find�察�to very little purpose。 

Suppose I should call for a taste�察�just by way of a trial�察�of the nectar of 

your lips�察�perhaps I might be disappointed in that too。 

    MISS   HARDCASTLE。              Nectar�   �nectar�    �That's   a   liquor   there's   no 

call for in these parts。    French�察�I suppose。       We sell no French wines here�察�

sir。 

    MARLOW。          Of true English growth�察�I assure you。 

    MISS   HARDCASTLE。              Then   it's   odd  I   should  not   know   it。 We 

brew all sorts of wines in this house�察�and I have lived here these eighteen 

years。 

    MARLOW。          Eighteen years�       �Why�察�one would think�察�child�察�you kept 

the bar before you were born。         How old are you�拭�

    MISS   HARDCASTLE。              O�   �sir�察  �I   must   not   tell   my   age。 They   say 

women and music should never be dated。 

    MARLOW。          To guess at this distance�察�you can't be much above forty 

��approaching��。       Yet�察  �nearer�察  �I   don't   think   so   much   ��approaching��。 By 

coming close to some women they look younger still�察�but when we come 

very close indeed��attempting to kiss her��。 

    MISS   HARDCASTLE。              Pray�察  �sir�察  �keep   your   distance。 One   would 

think you wanted to know one's age�察�as they do horses�察�by mark of mouth。

me at this distance�察�how is it possible you and I can ever be acquainted�拭�

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               And who wants to be acquainted with you�拭�

I   want   no   such   acquaintance�察  �not   I。 I'm   sure   you   did   not   treat   Miss 

Hardcastle�察  �that   was   here   awhile   ago�察  �in   this   obstropalous   manner。 I'll 

warrant me�察�before her you looked dashed�察�and kept bowing to the ground�察�

and talked�察�for all the world�察�as if you was before a justice of peace。 

    MARLOW。          ��Aside。��    Egad�察�she has hit it�察�sure enough�          。�To her。�� 

In awe of her�察�child�拭     �Ha� �ha� �ha�     �A mere awkward squinting thing�察�no�察�

no。    I find you don't know me。         I laughed and rallied her a little�察�but I 

was unwilling to be too severe。        No�察�I could not be too severe�察�curse me� �

    MISS      HARDCASTLE。           O�   �then�察  �sir�察 �you  are  a  favourite�察 �I  find�察�

among the ladies�拭�

    MARLOW。          Yes�察  �my   dear�察  �a   great   favourite。 And   yet   hang   me�察  �I 

don't see what they find in me to follow。         At the Ladies' Club in town I'm

knowing�察�methinks。        You laugh�察�child�拭�

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               I can't but laugh�察�to think what time they all 

have for minding their work or their family。

Do you ever work�察�child�拭�
