creen�察�and here's a pair of brazen´nosed bellows�察�perhaps you may take a fancy to them��
MARLOW。 Bring me your bill�察�sir�察�bring me your bill�察�and let's make no more words about it。
HARDCASTLE。 There are a set of prints�察�too。 What think you of the Rake's Progress�察�for your own apartment��
MARLOW。 Bring me your bill�察�I say�察�and I'll leave you and your infernal house directly。
HARDCASTLE。 Then there's a mahogany table that you may see your own face in。
MARLOW。 My bill�察�I say。
HARDCASTLE。 I had forgot the great chair for your own particular slumbers�察�after a hearty meal。
MARLOW。 Zounds� �bring me my bill�察�I say�察�and let's hear no more on't。
HARDCASTLE。 Young man�察�young man�察�from your father's letter to me�察�I was taught to expect a well´bred modest man as a visitor here�察�but now I find him no better than a coxcomb and a bully�察�but he will be down here presently�察�and shall hear more of it。 ��Exit。��
MARLOW。 How's this�拭 �Sure I have not mistaken the house。 Everything looks like an inn。 The servants cry�察�coming�察�the attendance is awkward�察�the bar´maid�察�too�察�to attend us。 But she's here�察�and will further inform me。 Whither so fast�察�child�拭 �A word with you。
Enter MISS HARDCASTLE。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Let it be short�察�then。 I'm in a hurry。 ��Aside。�� I believe be begins to find out his mistake。 But it's too soon quite to undeceive him。
MARLOW。 Pray�察�child�察�answer me one question。 What are you�察�and what may your business in this house be��
MISS HARDCASTLE。 A relation of the family�察�sir。
MARLOW。 What�察�a poor relation。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Yes�察�sir。 A poor relation�察�appointed to keep the keys�察�and to see that the guests want nothing in my power to give them。
MARLOW。 That is�察�you act as the bar´maid of this inn。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Inn� �O lawwhat brought that in your head�拭 �One of the best families in the country keep an innHa� �ha� �ha� �old Mr。 Hardcastle's house an inn��
MARLOW。 Mr。 Hardcastle's house� �Is this Mr。 Hardcastle's house�察�child��
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Ay�察�sure� �Whose else should it be��
MARLOW。 So then�察�all's out�察�and I have been damnably imposed on。 O�察�confound my stupid head�察�I shall be laughed at over the whole town。 I shall be stuck up in caricatura in all the print´shops。 The DULLISSIMO MACCARONI。 To mistake this house of all others for an inn�察�and my father's old friend for an innkeeper� �What a swaggering puppy must he take me for� �What a silly puppy do I find myself� �There again�察�may I be hanged�察�my dear�察�but I mistook you for the bar´maid。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Dear me� �dear me� �I'm sure there's nothing in my BEHAVIOUR to put me on a level with one of that stamp。
MARLOW。 Nothing�察�my dear�察�nothing。 But I was in for a list of blunders�察�and could not help making you a subscriber。 My stupidity saw everything the wrong way。 I mistook your assiduity for assurance�察�and your simplicity for allurement。 But it's over。 This house I no more show MY face in。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I hope�察�sir�察�I have done nothing to disoblige you。 I'm sure I should be sorry to affront any gentleman who has been so polite�察�and said so many civil things to me。 I'm sure I should be sorry ��pretending to cry�� if he left the family upon my account。 I'm sure I should be sorry if people said anything amiss�察�since I have no fortune but my character。
MARLOW。 ��Aside。�� By Heaven� �she weeps。 This is the first mark of tenderness I ever had from a modest woman�察�and it touches me。 ��To her。�� Excuse me�察�my lovely girl�察�you are the only part of the family I leave with reluctance。 But to be plain with you�察�the difference of our birth�察�fortune�察�and education�察�makes an honourable connexion impossible�察�and I can never harbour a thought of seducing simplicity that trusted in my honour�察�of bringing ruin upon one whose only fault was being too lovely。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 ��Aside。�� Generous man� �I now begin to admire him。 ��To him。�� But I am sure my family is as good as Miss Hardcastle's�察�and though I'm poor�察�that's no great misfortune to a contented mind�察�and�察�until this moment�察�I never thought that it was bad to want fortune。
MARLOW。 And why now�察�my pretty simplicity��
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Because it puts me at a distance from one that�察�if I had a thousand pounds�察�I would give it all to。
MARLOW。 ��Aside。�� This simplicity bewitches me�察�so that if I stay�察�I'm undone。 I must make one bold effort�察�and leave her。 ��To her。�� Your partiality in my favour�察�my dear�察�touches me most sensibly�此�and were I to live for myself alone�察�I could easily fix my choice。 But I owe too much to the opinion of the world�察�too much to the authority of a father�察�so thatI can scarcely speak itit affects me。 Farewell。 ��Exit。��
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I never knew half his merit till now。 He shall not go�察�if I have power or art to detain him。 I'll still preserve the character in which I STOOPED TO CONQUER�察�but will undeceive my papa�察�who perhaps may laugh him out of his resolution。 ��Exit。��
Enter Tony and MISS NEVILLE。
TONY。 Ay�察�you may steal for yourselves the next time。 I have done my duty。 She has got the jewels again�察�that's a sure thing�察�but she believes it was all a mistake of the servants。
MISS NEVILLE。 But�察�my dear cousin�察�sure you won't forsake us in this distress�拭 �If she in the least suspects that I am going off�察�I shall certainly be locked up�察�or sent to my aunt Pedigree's�察�which is ten times worse。
TONY。 To be sure�察�aunts of all kinds are damned bad things。 But what can I do�拭 �I have got you a pair of horses that will fly like Whistle´jacket�察�and I'm sure you can't say but I have courted you nicely before her face。 Here she comes�察�we must court a bit or two more�察�for fear she should suspect us。 ��They retire�察�and seem to fondle。��
Enter MRS。 HARDCASTLE。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Well�察�I was greatly fluttered�察�to be sure。 But my son tells me it was all a mistake of the servants。 I shan't be easy�察�however�察�till they are fairly married�察�and then let her keep her own fortune。 But what do I see�拭�fondling together�察�as I'm alive。 I never saw Tony so sprightly before。 Ah� �have I caught you�察�my pretty doves�拭 �What�察�billing�察�exchanging stolen glances and broken murmurs�拭 �Ah��
TONY。 As for murmurs�察�mother�察�we grumble a little now and then�察�to be sure。 But there's no love lost between us。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 A mere sprinkling�察�Tony�察�upon the flame�察�only to make it burn brighter。
MISS NEVILLE。 Cousin Tony promises to give us more of his company at home。 Indeed�察�he shan't leave us any more。 It won't leave us�察�cousin Tony�察�will it��
TONY。 O� �it's a pretty creature。 No�察�I'd sooner leave my horse in a pound�察�than leave you when you smile upon one so。 Your laugh makes you so becoming。
MISS NEVILLE。 Agreeable cousin� �Who can help admiring that natural humour�察�that pleasant�察�broad�察�red�察�thoughtless ��patting his cheek��ah� �it's a bold face。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Pretty innocence��
TONY。 I'm sure I always loved cousin Con。's hazle eyes�察�and her pretty long fingers�察�that she twists this way and that over the haspicholls�察�like a parcel of bobbins。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Ah� �he would charm the bird from the tree。 I was never so happy before。 My boy takes after his father�察�poor Mr。 Lumpkin�察�exactly。 The jewels�察�my dear Con。�察�shall be yours incontinently。 You shall have them。 Isn't he a sweet boy�察�my dear�拭 �You shall be married to´morrow�察�and we'll put off the rest of his education�察�like Dr。 Drowsy's sermons�察�to a fitter opportunity。
Enter DIGGORY。
DIGGORY。 Where's the 'squire�拭 �I have got a letter for your worship。
TONY。 Give it to my mamma。 She reads all my letters first。
DIGGORY。 I had orders to deliver it into your own hands。
TONY。 Who does it come from��
DIGGORY。 Your worship mun ask that o' the letter itself。
TONY。 I could wish to know though ��turning the letter�察�and gazing on it��。
MISS NEVILLE。 ��Aside。�� Undone� �undone� �A letter to him from Hastings。 I know the hand。 If my aunt sees it�察�we are ruined for ever。 I'll keep her employed a little if I can。 ��To MRS。 HARDCASTLE。�� But I have not told you�察�madam�察�of my cousin's smart answer just now to Mr。 Marlow。 We so laughed。You must know�察�madam。This way a little�察�for he must not hear us。 ��They confer。��
TONY。 ��Still gazing。�� A damned cramp piece of penmanship�察�as ever I saw in my life。 I can read your print hand very well。 But here are such handles�察�and shanks�察�and dashes�察�that one can scarce tell the head from the tail。;To Anthony Lumpkin�察�Esquire。; It's very odd�察�I can read the outside of my letters�察�where my own name is�察�well enough�察�but when I come to open it�察�it's allbuzz。 That's hard�察�very hard�察�for the inside of the letter is always the cream of the correspondence。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 Ha� �ha� �ha� �Very well�察�very well。 And so my son was too hard for the philosopher。
MISS NEVILLE。 Yes�察�madam�察�but you must hear the rest�察�madam。 A little more this way�察�or he may hear us。 You'll hear how he puzzled him again。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 He seems strangely puzzled now himself�察�methinks。
TONY。 ��Still gazing。�� A damned up and down hand�察�as if it was disguised in liquor。��Reading。�� Dear Sir��ay�察�that's that。 Then there's an M�察�and a T�察�and an S�察�but whether the next be an izzard�察�or an R�察�confound me�察�I cannot tell。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 What's that�察�my dear�拭 �Can I give you any assistance��
MISS NEVILLE。 Pray�察�aunt�察�let me read it。 Nobody reads a cramp hand better than I。 ��Twitching the letter from him。�� Do you know who it is from��
TONY。 Can't tell�察�except from Dick Ginger�察�the feeder。
MISS NEVILLE。 Ay�察�so it is。 ��Pretending to read。�� Dear 'Squire�察�hoping that you're in health�察�as I am at this present。 The gentlemen of the Shake´bag club has cut the gentlemen of Goose´green quite out of feather。 The oddsumodd battleumlong fightingumhere�察�here�察�it's all about cocks and fighting�察�it's of no consequence�察�here�察�put it up�察�put it up。 ��Thrusting the crumpled letter upon him。��
TONY。 But I tell you�察�miss�察�it's of all the consequence in the world。 I would not lose the rest of it for a guinea。 Here�察�mother�察�do you make it out。 Of no consequence� 。�Giving MRS。 HARDCASTLE the letter。��
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 How's this�殖�Reads。�� ;Dear 'Squire�察�I'm now waiting for Miss Neville�察�with a post´chaise and pair�察�at the bottom of the garden�察�but I find my horses yet unable to perform the journey。 I expect you'll assist us with a pair of fresh horses�察�as you promised。 Dispatch is necessary�察�as the HAG ��ay�察�the hag���察�your mother�察�will otherwise suspect us� �Yours�察�Hastings。; Grant me patience。 I shall run distracted� �My rage chokes me。
MISS NEVILLE。 I hope�察�madam�察�you'll suspend your resentment for a few moments�察�and not impute to me any impertinence�察�or sinister design�察�that belongs to another。
MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 ��Curtseying very low。�� Fine spoken�察�madam�察�you are most miraculously polite and engaging�察�and quite the very pink of courtesy and circumspection�察�madam。 ��Changing her tone。�� And you�察�you great ill´fashioned oaf�察�with scarce sense enough to keep your mouth shut�此�were you�察�too�察�joined against me�拭 �But I'll defeat all your plots in a moment。 As for you�察�madam�察�since you have got a pair of fresh horses ready�察�it would be cruel to disappoint them。 So�察�
