what they intend。



LADY PLYANT。  I'm satisfied that my cousin Mellefont has been much

wronged。



CYNT。  ��Aside。�А �I'm amazed to find her of our side�察�for I'm sure

she loved him。



LADY PLYANT。  I know my Lady Touchwood has no kindness for him�察�and

besides I have been informed by Mr。 Careless�察�that Mellefont had

never anything more than a profound respect。  That he has owned

himself to be my admirer 'tis true�察�but he was never so presumptuous

to entertain any dishonourable notions of things�察�so that if this be

made plain�察�I don't see how my daughter can in conscience�察�or

honour�察�or anything in the world ´



SIR PAUL。  Indeed if this be made plain�察�as my lady�察�your mother��

says�察�child ´



LADY PLYANT。  Plain�  �I was informed of it by Mr。 Careless。  And I

assure you�察�Mr。 Careless is a person that has a most extraordinary

respect and honour for you�察�Sir Paul。



CYNT。  ��Aside。�А �And for your ladyship too�察�I believe�察�or else you

had not changed sides so soon�察�now I begin to find it。



SIR PAUL。  I am much obliged to Mr。 Careless really�察�he is a person

that I have a great value for�察�not only for that�察�but because he has

a great veneration for your ladyship。



LADY PLYANT。  O las�察�no indeed�察�Sir Paul�察�'tis upon your account。



SIR PAUL。  No�察�I protest and vow�察�I have no title to his esteem�察�but

in having the honour to appertain in some measure to your ladyship��

that's all。



LADY PLYANT。  O law now�察�I swear and declare it shan't be so�察�you're

too modest�察�Sir Paul。



SIR PAUL。  It becomes me�察�when there is any comparison made between

´



LADY PLYANT。  O fie�察�fie�察�Sir Paul�察�you'll put me out of

countenance。  Your very obedient and affectionate wife�察�that's all。

And highly honoured in that title。



SIR PAUL。  Gads´bud�察�I am transported�  �Give me leave to kiss your

ladyship's hand。



CYNT。  That my poor father should be so very silly�  。�Aside。��



LADY PLYANT。  My lip indeed�察�Sir Paul�察�I swear you shall。  ��He

kisses her�察�and bows very low。��



SIR PAUL。  I humbly thank your ladyship。  I don't know whether I fly

on ground�察�or walk in air。  Gads´bud�察�she was never thus before。

Well�察�I must own myself the most beholden to Mr。 Careless。  As sure

as can be�察�this is all his doing�察�something that he has said�察�well��

'tis a rare thing to have an ingenious friend。  Well�察�your ladyship

is of opinion that the match may go forward。



LADY PLYANT。  By all means。  Mr。 Careless has satisfied me of the

matter。



SIR PAUL。  Well�察�why then�察�lamb�察�you may keep your oath�察�but have a

care about making rash vows�察�come hither to me�察�and kiss papa。



LADY PLYANT。  I swear and declare�察�I am in such a twitter to read

Mr。 Careless his letter�察�that I can't forbear any longer。  But

though I may read all letters first by prerogative�察�yet I'll be sure

to be unsuspected this time�察�Sir Paul。



SIR PAUL。  Did your ladyship call��



LADY PLYANT。  Nay�察�not to interrupt you�察�my dear。  Only lend me your

letter�察�which you had from your steward to´day�察�I would look upon

the account again�察�and may be increase your allowance。



SIR PAUL。  There it is�察�madam�察�do you want a pen and ink�拭 。�Bows and

gives the letter。��



LADY PLYANT。  No�察�no�察�nothing else�察�I thank you�察�Sir Paul。  So�察�now

I can read my own letter under the cover of his。  ��Aside。��



SIR PAUL。  He�拭 �And wilt thou bring a grandson at nine months end

he�拭 �A brave chopping boy。  I'll settle a thousand pound a year upon

the rogue as soon as ever he looks me in the face�察�I will�察�gads´bud。

I'm overjoyed to think I have any of my family that will bring

children into the world。  For I would fain have some resemblance of

myself in my posterity�察�he�察�Thy�拭 �Can't you contrive that affair��

girl�拭 �Do�察�gads´bud�察�think on thy old father�察�heh�拭 �Make the young

rogue as like as you can。



CYNT。  I'm glad to see you so merry�察�sir。



SIR PAUL。  Merry�察�gads´bud�察�I'm serious�察�I'll give thee five hundred

pounds for every inch of him that resembles me�察�ah�察�this eye�察�this

left eye�  �A thousand pounds for this left eye。  This has done

execution in its time�察�girl�察�why�察�thou hast my leer�察�hussey�察�just

thy father's leer。  Let it be transmitted to the young rogue by the

help of imagination�察�why�察�'tis the mark of our family�察�Thy�察�our

house is distinguished by a languishing eye�察�as the house of Austria

is by a thick lip。  Ah� �when I was of your age�察�hussey�察�I would have

held fifty to one�察�I could have drawn my own picturegads´bud I

could have donenot so much as you�察�neither�察�butnay�察�don't blush。



CYNT。  I don't blush�察�sir�察�for I vow I don't understand。



SIR PAUL。  Pshaw�察�pshaw�察�you fib�察�you baggage�察�you do understand��

and you shall understand�察�come�察�don't be so nice。  Gads´bud�察�don't

learn after your mother´in´law my lady here。  Marry�察�heaven forbid

that you should follow her example�察�that would spoil all indeed。

Bless us� �if you should take a vagary and make a rash resolution on

your wedding night�察�to die a maid�察�as she did�察�all were ruined�察�all

my hopes lost。  My heart would break�察�and my estate would be left to

the wide world�察�he�拭 �I hope you are a better Christian than to think

of living a nun�察�he�拭 �Answer me��



CYNT。  I'm all obedience�察�sir�察�to your commands。



LADY PLYANT。  ��Having read the letter。�А �O dear Mr。 Careless�察�I

swear he writes charmingly�察�and he looks charmingly�察�and he has

charmed me�察�as much as I have charmed him�察�and so I'll tell him in

the wardrobe when 'tis dark。  O criminy�  �I hope Sir Paul has not

seen both letters。  ��Puts the wrong letter hastily up�察�and gives him

her own。�А �Sir Paul�察�here's your letter�察�to´morrow morning I'll

settle accounts to your advantage。





SCENE IV。





��To them�А�BRISK。



BRISK。  Sir Paul�察�gads´bud�察�you're an uncivil person�察�let me tell

you�察�and all that�察�and I did not think it had been in you。



SIR PAUL。  O law�察�what's the matter now�拭 �I hope you are not angry��

Mr。 Brisk。



BRISK。  Deuce take me�察�I believe you intend to marry your daughter

yourself�察�you're always brooding over her like an old hen�察�as if she

were not well hatched�察�egad�察�he。



SIR PAUL。  Good strange�  �Mr。 Brisk is such a merry facetious

person�察�he�察�he�察�he。  No�察�no�察�I have done with her�察�I have done with

her now。



BRISK。  The fiddles have stayed this hour in the hall�察�and my Lord

Froth wants a partner�察�we can never begin without her。



SIR PAUL。  Go�察�go child�察�go�察�get you gone and dance and be merry��

I'll come and look at you by and by。  Where's my son Mellefont��



LADY PLYANT。  I'll send him to them�察�I know where he is。

him��



SIR PAUL。  I will�察�I will�察�I'll go and look for him on purpose。





SCENE V。





BRISK alone。



BRISK。  So now they are all gone�察�and I have an opportunity to

practice。  Ah�  �My dear Lady Froth�察�she's a most engaging creature��

if she were not so fond of that damned coxcombly lord of hers�察�and

yet I am forced to allow him wit too�察�to keep in with him。  No

matter�察�she's a woman of parts�察�and�察�egad�察�parts will carry her。

She said she would follow me into the gallery。  Now to make my

approaches。  Hem�察�hem�  �Ah ma´ ��bows。�А�dam�  �Pox on't�察�why should I

disparage my parts by thinking what to say�拭 �None but dull rogues

think�察�witty men�察�like rich fellows�察�are always ready for all

expenses�察�while your blockheads�察�like poor needy scoundrels�察�are

forced to examine their stock�察�and forecast the charges of the day。

Here she comes�察�I'll seem not to see her�察�and try to win her with a

new airy invention of my own�察�hem��

LADY FROTH。  O heavens�察�Mr。 Brisk�  �What's the matter��



BRISK。  My Lady Froth�  �Your ladyship's most humble servant。  The

matter�察�madam�拭 �Nothing�察�madam�察�nothing at all�察�egad。  I was fallen

into the most agreeable amusement in the whole province of

contemplation�此 �that's all��I'll seem to conceal my passion�察�and

that will look like respect。��  ��Aside。��



LADY FROTH。  Bless me�察�why did you call out upon me so loud��



BRISK。  O Lord�察�I�察�madam�  �I beseech your ladyshipwhen��

been in love�察�ha�察�ha�察�ha。  O heavens�察�I thought you could have no

mistress but the Nine Muses。

LADY FROTH。  Take no notice�察�but observe me。  Now�察�cast off�察�and

meet me at the lower end of the room�察�and then join hands again�察�I

could teach my lord this dance purely�察�but I vow�察�Mr。 Brisk�察�I can't

tell how to come so near any other man。  Oh here's my lord�察�now you

shall see me do it with him。  ��They pretend to practise part of a

country dance。��
