Excerpt from The Young Widow, or a Lesson for Lovers: A Comic Piece, in One Act

Lucy. By the bye, I wonder you were not at the masquerade last night. Mr. Splash.

Splash. No wonder at all, Lucy: my master was there, but the fact is, masquerades have grown vulgar of late, and I don't patronize them any longer.

Lucy. To say the truth, that was precisely my reason for staying away.

Splash. What a sympathy of feeling. I see we were designed for each other - and since we are alone, tell me, Lucy, when will you make me the happiest of valets.

Lucy. Why, Mr. Splash, since you put the question to me, I believe I must be candid, and inform you, that I have thought seriously on the subject, and, without meaning any offence to you, Mr. Splash. I really cannot think of surrendering my liberty to any thing under a butler.

Splash. [aside] What an ambitious toad it is._ But consider. Lucy. I am but a valet it is true but I have an excellent master, and to say the truth, I have got a trifle in his service; you, I believe. Have got a trifle more - not that I am the least interested [aside] though I hope it's something considerable.
