[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The School for Wives: A Comedy in Three Acts Scene I. - Drawing-room in Viscount Lawless' house in Park-lane - Folding-doors at back - Breakfast table laid close to Conservatory K. Lady Lawless seated L. reading. Lady Lawless (looking at clock). - Dear me! half-past twelve and Henry not down stairs yet! Where can he have been last night after the Vieuxblazon's to make him so late? Only six months since our marriage, and see as little of him as if I had been his wife for years. (Rings bell and re-seats herself.) Enter Footman. Did you let Lord Lawless know breakfast was on the table? Footman. - Yes, My Lady but his Lordship said your Ladyship had better not wait, as he was not dressed yet. Lady Lawless. - Very well. (Exit Footman.) I will wait though - I cannot bear this loneliness - I wish I was not so fond of my husband but, foolish girl that I am, I cannot help being in love with him still, in spite of his coldness. Enter Lord Lawless. Lady Lawless (going towards him and putting her arms round his neck). - At last Henry! you lazy creature, what have you been about? It's nearly one o'clock! Lord Lawless (gently disengaging Lady Lawless' hands from his neck). - My dear, how often have I begged of you not to call me Henry? - it's bad enough in private, but you will persist in doing so in company - it makes me appear so very ridiculous. Why can't you say Lawless like other people do? Lady Lawless. - Well, Lawless then. I'm a very disobedient wife you see, for, besides calling you Henry, I have waited breakfast for yon, and I am afraid it's nearly cold by this time. Lord Lawless. - How can you be so foolish as to make yourself uncomfortable on my account? (sitting down), I swear I have'nt a moment's peace for your attentions - they really might almost be termed persecutions - for instance, if I had known you were waiting for me, sheer politeness would have forced me to hurry, and you know how I detest that.
