Scene IV The Countess, Julia

Coun. What trouble it gives me to have to teach such simpletons.

Ju. I think them very fortunate to be under your discipline, Madam.

Coun. She is my nurse’s daughter, whom I have made lady’s-maid; the post is quite new to her, as yet.

Ju. It shows a generous soul, Madam, and it is glorious thus to form people.

Coun. Come, some seats, I say! Here, little page! little page! little page-boy! Truly, this is too bad not to have a page to give us chairs! My maids! my page! my page! my maids! Ho! somebody! I really think that they must be all dead, and that we shall have to find seats for ourselves.
