SCAN. Ay, we'll all give you something. MRS FRAIL. Well, what will you all give me? VAL. Mine's a secret. MRS FRAIL. I thought you would give me something that would be a trouble to you to keep. VAL. And Scandal shall give you a good name. MRS FRAIL. That's more than he has for himself. And what will you give me, Mr Tattle? TATT. I? My soul, madam. MRS FRAIL. Pooh! No, I thank you, I have enough to do to take care of my own. Well, but I'll come and see you one of these mornings. I hear you have a great many pictures. TATT. I have a pretty good collection, at your service, some originals. SCAN. Hang him, he has nothing but the Seasons and the Twelve Caesars--paltry copies--and the Five Senses, as ill-represented as they are in himself, and he himself is the only original you will see there. MRS FRAIL. Ay, but I hear he has a closet of beauties. |
