For as her natural face decays, her skill improves in making the artificial one. Well, nothing diverts me more than one of those fine, old, dressy things, who thinks to conceal her age by everywhere exposing her person; sticking herself up in the front of a side-box; trailing through a minuet at Almack's; and then, in the public gardens looking, for all the world, like one of the painted ruins of the place. [Goldsmith, "The Good Natured Man," 1768]
隨着她的自然面容的衰退,她的技能在製作人造面容方面得到了提高。嗯,沒有什麼比那些精緻的老式穿着更能吸引我的了,她們認爲通過暴露自己的身體來掩蓋自己的年齡; 在側箱前面豎立自己; 在阿爾馬克的舞會上拖着裙子跳舞; 然後,在公共花園裏看起來,就像這個地方的一座油漆過的廢墟。[戈德史密斯,《好心人》,1768年]
