The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The School For Scandal by Richard Brinsley Sheridan: LADY TEAZLE. Upon my word you ought to pity me, do you now Sir Peter

SURFACE. I am glad my scandalous Friends keep that up. [Aside.]
LADY TEAZLE. I am sure I wish He would let Maria marry him--
and then perhaps He would be convinced--don't you--Mr. Surface?
SURFACE. Indeed I do not.--[Aside.] O certainly I do--for then
my dear Lady Teazle would also be convinced how wrong her suspicions
were of my having any design on the silly Girl----
LADY TEAZLE. Well--well I'm inclined to believe you--besides
I really never could perceive why she should have so any admirers.
