FAINALL. There.
MRS. MARWOOD. I join with you; what I have said, has been to try you.
MRS. FAINALL. Is it possible? Dost thou hate those Vipers Men?
MRS. MARWOOD. I have done hating 'em; and am now come to despise 'em; the next thing I have to do, is eternally to forget 'em.
MRS. FAINALL. There spoke the Spirit of an Amazon, a Penthesilea.
MRS. MARWOOD. And yet I am thinking sometimes, to carry my Aversion further.
MRS. FAINALL. How?
MRS. MARWOOD. Faith by Marrying; if I cou'd but find one that lov'd me very well, and would be throughly sensible of ill usage; I think I shou'd do my self the violence of undergoing the Ceremony.
MRS. FAINALL. You would not make him a Cuckold?
MRS. MARWOOD. No; but I'd make him believe I did, and that's as bad.
MRS. FAINALL. Why, had not you as good do it?
MRS. MARWOOD. O if he shou'd ever discover it, he wou'd then know the worst; and be out of his Pain; but I wou'd have him ever to continue upon the Rack of Fear and Jealousy.
MRS. FAINALL. Ingenious Mischief! Wou'd thou wert married to Mirabell.
MRS. MARWOOD. Wou'd I were.
MRS. FAINALL. You change Colour.
MRS.
