She wondered what he meant, was astonished at his impudence, and, with an air of modesty peculiar to herself, swore so heartily that she never saw him before, that she put me out of countenance. BLUNT. That's much indeed ! But how did Barnwell behave ? LUCY.
Página 159 - I talked of honour and reputation, and invited him to my house : he swallowed the bait, promised to come, and this is the time I expect him. [Knocking at the door, L.] Somebody knocks :— nl'ye hear, I am at home to nobody to-day but him.
