The opening

SCENE I.

ARMANDE, HENRIETTE.

ARM. What! Sister, you will give up the sweet and enchanting title of maiden? You can entertain thoughts of marrying! This vulgar wish can enter your head!

HEN. Yes, sister.

ARM. Ah! Who can bear that “yes”? Can anyone hear it without feelings of disgust?

The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
