Excerpt from Classic Comedies
Mrs. Hard. Lord, Mr. Hardcastle, you're forever at your Dorothys and your old wifes.
You may be a Darby, but I'll be no Joan, I promise you I'm not so old as you'd make me, by more than one good' year. Add twenty to twenty, and make money of that.
Hard. Let me see; twenty added to twenty makes just fifty and seven.
Mrs. Hard. It's false, Mr. Hardcastle I was but twenty when I was brought to bed of Tony, that I had by Mr. Lumpkin, my first husband and he's not come to years of discretion yet.
