The china scene

Context: extract from the notorious "China scene", where Horner and his mistresses carry on a sustained double entendre dialogue purportedly about Horner's china collection. The husband of Lady Fidget and the grandmother of Mrs. Squeamish are listening front stage and nodding in approval, failing to pick up the double meaning which is obvious to the audience. Dialogue such as this made "china" a dirty word in common conversation, Wycherley later claimed.

Mrs. Squeamish: I can’t find ’em.—Oh, are you here, grandmother? I followed, you must know, my Lady Fidget hither; ’tis the prettiest lodging, and I have been staring on the prettiest pictures—

Re-enter Lady Fidget with a piece of china in her hand, and Horner following.

Lady Fidget: And I have been toiling and moiling for the prettiest piece of china, my dear.

Horner: Nay, she has been too hard for me, do what I could.

Mrs. Squeamish: Oh, lord, I’ll have some china too. Good Mr. Horner, don’t think to give other people china, and me none; come in with me too.

Horner: Upon my honour, I have none left now.

Mrs. Squeamish: Nay, nay, I have known you deny your china before now, but you shan’t put me off so. Come.

Horner: This lady had the last there.

Lady Fidget: Yes indeed, madam, to my certain knowledge, he has no more left.

Mrs. Squeamish: O, but it may be he may have some you could not find.

Lady Fidget: What, d’ye think if he had had any left, I would not have had it too? for we women of quality never think we have china enough.

Horner: Do not take it ill, I cannot make china for you all, but I will have a roll-wagon for you too, another time.

Mrs. Squeamish: Thank you, dear toad.

Ha ha. Yes! I do remember that. I took a class on Comedies on Manners, and they all start to blend together after a while.

Gotta love those character names!

Still raining...in case you didn't notice or something.


I have to go and break into my friend's house and take a dress to wear tonight for my concert...except, her mom knows I'm coming. Good times!

I thought it was snowing!

It looks like it's another brilliant day in Las Vegas. Of course, it's noon, and I haven't gone outside yet.

I'm trying to convince my mom to go to Las Vegas with me for Spring Break to see Bette Middler, but it's not going very well.

Today is DISGUSTING!!! I almost feel on my ass 20 times. I'm wet from head to toe, including inside my shoes.

The good thing is that my english class was shortened. I got a package today and I should be getting something from my mom. I need to send my sister something, though!
