TATT. O Lord! Yes, indeed, madam, several times. ANG. I swear I don't think 'tis possible. TATT. Yes, I vow and swear I have; Lord, madam, I'm the most unfortunate man in the world, and the most cruelly used by the ladies. ANG. Nay, now you're ungrateful. TATT. No, I hope not, 'tis as much ingratitude to own some favours as to conceal others. VAL. There, now it's out. ANG. I don't understand you now. I thought you had never asked anything but what a lady might modestly grant, and you confess. SCAN. So faith, your business is done here; now you may go brag somewhere else. TATT. Brag! O heavens! Why, did I name anybody? ANG. No; I suppose that is not in your power; but you would if you could, no doubt on't. TATT. Not in my power, madam! What, does your ladyship mean that I have no woman's reputation in my power? |
