[Regarding the scandal that has erupted over Molly Seagrim's illegitimate child]
And after everyone's kindness, too. She had laid the child at young Mr. Jones's door. All the parish say Mr. Allworthy is so angry with Mr. Jones that he won't see him. To be sure one can't help but pity the poor young man. He's so pretty a gentleman. I should be sorry to see him turned out of doors.
Sophie Western:
[Slightly annoyed]
Why do you tell me all this? What concern have I of what Mr. Jones does?
Honor:
Why, ma'am, I never thought it was any harm to say a young man was handsome. But I shall never think of him any more now, for handsome is as handsome does.
Sophie Western:
Tittle-tattle, tittle-tattle. I shall be late for the hunt.
Honor:
[Expressing faint contrition]
Sorry, I'm sure, madam.
