"Anna St. Ives"
Thomas Holcroft
I cunningly get a footing at his rival's, who, like a dolt, was going to place his mistress in my hands, but he, Lelio, prevents me getting hold of her by a fictitious letter; I try to abate the passion of his rival, my hero presently comes and undeceives him.
"The Blunderer"
Moliere
How Lady Chiltern undeceives him, and confesses the truth.
