SIR PETER. Hold Master Rowley--if you have any Regard for me--
never let me hear you utter anything like a Sentiment. I have had
enough of THEM to serve me the rest of my Life.
[Exeunt.]


SCENE THE LAST.--The Library

SURFACE and LADY SNEERWELL

LADY SNEERWELL. Impossible! will not Sir Peter immediately
be reconciled to CHARLES? and of consequence no longer oppose
his union with MARIA? the thought is Distraction to me!

SURFACE. Can Passion--furnish a Remedy?

LADY SNEERWELL. No--nor cunning either. O I was a Fool, an Ideot--
to league with such a Blunderer!

SURFACE. Surely Lady Sneerwell I am the greatest Sufferer--yet you
see I bear the accident with Calmness.

LADY SNEERWELL. Because the Disappointment hasn't reached your
HEART--your interest only attached you to Maria--had you felt for
her--what I have for that ungrateful Libertine--neither your Temper
nor Hypocrisy could prevent your showing the sharpness of your
Vexation.

SURFACE. But why should your Reproaches fall on me for this
Disappointment?
