OK, here's another classic novel, and a famous scene.
"I am terribly afraid," said widow Wadman, "in case I should marry him, Bridget—that the poor captain will not enjoy his health, with the monstrous wound upon his groin."
"It may not, Madam, be so very large," replied Bridget, "as you think—and I believe, besides," added she "that ’tis dried up."
"I could like to know—merely for his sake," said Mrs. Wadman
"We’ll know and long and the broad of it, in ten days," answered Mrs. Bridget, "for whilst the captain is paying his addresses to you, I’m confident Mr. Trim will be for making love to me—and I’ll let him as much as he will—" added Bridget, "to get it all out of him."
