_Cel_. My Brother, and _Bellmour_! with strange Men!
_Enter_ Friendlove, Bellmour, _Sir_ Timothy, Sham, _and_ Sharp. _Friend_. Sister, I've brought you here a Lover, this is the worthy Person you have heard of, Sir _Timothy Tawdrey_. Sir _Tim_. Yes, faith, Madam, I am Sir _Timothy Tawdrey_, at your Service--Pray are not you Mrs. _Celinda Dresswell_? _Cel_. The same, but cannot return your Compliment. Sir _Tim_. Oh Lord, oh Lord, not return a Compliment. Faith, _Ned_, thy Sister's quite spoil'd, for want of Town-Education; 'tis pity, for she's devilish pretty. _Friend_. She's modest, Sir, before Company; therefore these Gentlemen and I will withdraw into the next Room. _Cel_. Inhuman Brother! Will you leave me alone with this Sot? _Friend_. Yes, and if you would be rid of the trouble of him, be not coy, nor witty; two things he hates. _Bel_. 'Sdeath! Must she be blown upon by that Fool? _Friend_. Patience, dear _Frank_, a little while. [_Exeunt_ Friend. Bell. Sham _and_ Sharp. |
