for his own credit sake--and you may depend on't I shall soon Discover
Sir Oliver's weak side!--

LADY SNEERWELL. I have no diffidence of your abilities--only
be constant to one roguery at a time--
[Exit.]

SURFACE. I will--I will--So 'tis confounded hard after such bad
Fortune, to be baited by one's confederate in evil--well at all
events my character is so much better than Charles's, that I

Enter SIR OLIVER

at this time? you must not stay now upon my word!

SIR OLIVER. Sir--I hear your Unkle Oliver is expected here--
and tho' He has been so penurious to you, I'll try what He'll

SURFACE. Sir! 'tis impossible for you to stay now--so I must
beg----come any other time and I promise you you shall be assisted.

SIR OLIVER. No--Sir Oliver and I must be acquainted--
