's to be thus used by such a slut?
And was coming to me: And indeed I began to be afraid; for I have but
a poor heart, after all. But Mrs. Jewkes hearing high words, came in
again, with the second course, and said, Pray your ladyship, don't so
discompose yourself. I am afraid this day's business will make matters
wider than ever between your good ladyship and your brother: For my
master doats upon madam.

Woman, said she, do thou be silent! Sure, I that was born in this house,
may have some privilege in it, without being talked to by the saucy
servants in it!

I beg pardon, madam, replied Mrs. Jewkes; and, turning to me, said,
Madam, my master will take it very ill if you make him wait for you
thus. So I rose to go out; but my lady said, If it was only for that

said she. Times are much altered with you, I'll assure you! said I, Her
ladyship has a very good plea to be free in the house that she was born

you had your breedings. Why, how now, Mrs. Pamela, said she; since you
provoke me to it, I'll tell you a piece of my mind. Hush, hush, good
woman, said I, alluding to my lady's language to Mrs. Jewkes, my lady
wants not your assistance:--Besides, I can't scold!
