       [To them] WITWOUD from drinking.
       MRS. FAINALL
       So, is the fray made up that you have left 'em?
       WITWOUD
       Left 'em? I could stay no longer. I have laughed like ten Christ'nings. I am tipsy with laughing--if I had stayed any longer I should have burst,--I must have been let out and pieced in the sides like an unsized camlet. Yes, yes, the fray is composed; my lady came in like a NOLI PROSEQUI, and stopt the proceedings.
       MILLAMANT
       What was the dispute?
       WITWOUD
       That's the jest: there was no dispute. They could neither of 'em speak for rage; and so fell a sputt'ring at one another like two roasting apples.
