LADY PLYANT and CARELESS.

LADY PLYANT. Oh, Mr. Careless, Mr. Careless, I'm ruined, I'm

CARE. Heaven forbid! What is it?

LADY PLYANT. I'm in such a fright; the strangest quandary and
premunire! I'm all over in a universal agitation; I dare swear
every circumstance of me trembles. O your letter, your letter! By
an unfortunate mistake I have given Sir Paul your letter instead of
his own.

CARE. That was unlucky.
