MAD. What is the meaning of this?
JOD. It is a wager.
CAT. What, allow yourselves to be beaten thus?
MASC. Good Heavens! I did not wish to appear to take any notice of it;
because I am naturally very violent, and should have flown into a
passion.
MAD. To suffer an insult like this in our presence!
MASC. It is nothing. Let us not leave off. We have known one another for
a long time, and among friends one ought not to be so quickly offended
for such a trifle.
