a couple more fav's   Written by Ellen (3/1/2007 7:21 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, LOL Lines, penned by Cheryl
Are you new?

"Upon my conscience! Lucy, your lady is a great mistress of language. Faith, she’s quite the queen of the dictionary!—for the devil a word dare refuse coming at her call—though one would think it was quite out of hearing."

and just after that is

"She must be very deep read to write this way— though she is rather an arbitrary writer too—for here are a great many poor words pressed into the service of this note, that would get their habeas corpus from any court in Christendom."

I've never read this play before, but I'm enjoying it greatly!
