SIR PETER. Soh! another French milliner egad! He has one
in every Room in the House I suppose--

LADY SNEERWELL. Ungrateful Charles! Well may you be surprised and
feel for the indelicate situation which your Perfidy has forced me
into.

CHARLES. Pray Unkle, is this another Plot of yours? for as I have
Life I don't understand it.

SURFACE. I believe Sir there is but the evidence of one Person
more necessary to make it extremely clear.

SIR PETER. And that Person--I imagine, is Mr. Snake--Rowley--you
were perfectly right to bring him with us--and pray let him appear.

ROWLEY. Walk in, Mr. Snake--

Enter SNAKE

I thought his Testimony might be wanted--however it happens unluckily
that He comes to confront Lady Sneerwell and not to support her--

LADY SNEERWELL. A Villain!--Treacherous to me at last! Speak,
Fellow, have you too conspired against me?

SNAKE. I beg your Ladyship--ten thousand Pardons--you paid me
extremely Liberally for the Lie in question--but I unfortunately
have been offer'd double to speak the Truth.
