PATIENCE Then�察�bless my heart�察�there can be nothing unselfish in
loving you��
GROS。 Merciful powers� �I never thought of that��
PATIENCE To monopolize those features on which all women love to
linger� �It would be unpardonable��
GROS。 Why�察�so it would� �Oh�察�fatal perfection�察�again you
interpose between me and my happiness��
PATIENCE Oh�察�if you were but a thought less beautiful than you
are��
