SIR PETER.--Lady Teazle, Lady Teazle, I'll not bear it.
LADY TEAZLE.--Sir Peter, Sir Peter, you may bear it or not, as you please;
but I ought to have my own way in everything, and, what's more, I will,
too. What though I was educated in the country, I know very well that women
of fashion in London are accountable to nobody after they are married.
SIR P.--Very well, ma'am, very well!--so a husband is to have no influence,
no authority?
LADY T.--Authority! No, to be sure. If you wanted authority over me, you
should have adopted me, and not married me; I am sure you were old enough.

An' what think ye o' that?
Sae haud your tongue an' say nae mair--
I tell ye, it was a rat."
CHAPTER VI.
FORCE.
Force refers to the strength or power of the voice, and is divided into
forms and degrees. Very particular attention should be given to the subject
of force, since that _expression_, which is so very important in
elocution, is almost altogether dependent on some one or other modification
of this attribute of the voice.
