Marriage, Sirrah.
_Char._ Sir, I obey: But-- Sir _Fran._ But me no Buts--Be gone, Sir: Dare to ask me for Money agen--Refuse Forty Thousand Pound! Out of my Doors, I say, without Reply. (_Exit _Char_._ _Enter Servant._ _Serv._ One Sir _George Airy_ enquires for you, Sir. _Enter _Marplot_ Running._ _Marpl._. Ha? gone! Is _Charles_ gone, Guardian? Sir _Fran._ Yes; and I desire your wise Worship to walk after him. _Marpl._ Nay, Egad, I shall Run, I tell you but that. Ah, Pox of the Cashier for detaining me so long, where the Devil shall I find him now. I shall certainly lose this Secret. (_Exit, hastily._ Sir _Fran._ What is the Fellow distracted?--Desire Sir _George_ to walk up--Now for a Tryal of Skill that will make me Happy, and him a Fool: Ha, ha, ha, in my Mind he looks like an Ass already. _Enter Sir _George_._ |
