Sir _Fran._ Sir, your Necessities are very Impertinent, and ought to have sent before they Entred. _Char._ Sir, I knew 'twas a Word wou'd gain Admittance no where. Sir _Fran._ Then, Sirrah, how durst you Rudely thrust that upon your Father, which no Body else wou'd admit? _Char._ Sure the Name of a Son is a sufficient Plea. I ask this Lady's Pardon if I have intruded. Sir _Fran._ Ay, Ay, ask her Pardon and her Blessing too, if you expect any thing from me. _Miran._ I believe yours, Sir _Francis_, in a Purse of Guinea's wou'd be more material. Your Son may have Business with you, I'll retire. Sir _Fran._ I guess his Business, but I'll dispatch him, I expect the Knight every Minute: You'll be in Readiness. |
