Quote’s “Indeed! And after having married you, I shall never pretend to taste again” (p. 26) –Lady Teazle “With what a charming air she contradicts everything I say, and how pleasantly she shows her contempt for my authority. Even if I can’t make her love me, there is, at least, sweet satisfaction in quarreling with her. She never appears as lovely as when she is doing everything in her power to plague me.” (p. 27) –Sir Peter Teazle “Or play the fools at large… on life’s great stage” (p. 78) –Sir Peter Teazle “No more in vice or error to engage” (p. 78) –Lady Teazle

Personal reaction Elena Ryan While it had some slow parts, I thought the overall play was pretty good. It showed a creative look at a scandalous London and has an overall happy ending. If you are into comedies and dramas then this would be a fun play to read. Very French with a British twist in humor. Seemed like what would have at the time been a modern iteration of a stock plot play with a few personal flourishes.
