MRS FRAIL. That's somewhat the better reason, to my opinion.

SCAN. Well, if Tattle entertains you, I have the better opportunity
to engage your sister.

VAL. Tell Angelica I am about making hard conditions to come
abroad, and be at liberty to see her.

SCAN. I'll give an account of you and your proceedings. If
indiscretion be a sign of love, you are the most a lover of anybody
that I know: you fancy that parting with your estate will help you
to your mistress. In my mind he is a thoughtless adventurer


Who hopes to purchase wealth by selling land;
Or win a mistress with a losing hand.



ACT II.--SCENE I.



A room in FORESIGHT's house.

FORESIGHT and SERVANT.

FORE. Hey day! What, are all the women of my family abroad? Is
not my wife come home? Nor my sister, nor my daughter?
