It begins “The young coxcomb who lurks in the background of this scene, with his glass stuck in his right eye for a seemingly indifferent look at the girls, seated with their papa under the leafy vine, may affected to hide his disappointment at not finding one or other alone. But we shall not be deceived by this flippant behaviour on his part….” - Date
