SIR PETER. Yes Madam, I would have Law Merchant for that too--
and in all cases of slander currency, whenever the Drawer of the Lie
was not to be found, the injured Party should have a right to come
on any of the indorsers.

CRABTREE. Well for my Part I believe there never was a Scandalous
Tale without some foundation.<3>

LADY SNEERWELL. Come Ladies shall we sit down to Cards in the next
Room?

Enter SERVANT, whispers SIR PETER

SIR PETER. I'll be with them directly.--
[Exit SERVANT.]
I'll get away unperceived.

LADY SNEERWELL. Sir Peter you are not leaving us?

SIR PETER. Your Ladyship must excuse me--I'm called away by
particular Business--but I leave my Character behind me--
[Exit.]

SIR BENJAMIN. Well certainly Lady Teazle that lord of yours
is a strange being--I could tell you some stories of him would make
you laugh heartily if He wern't your Husband.

LADY TEAZLE. O pray don't mind that--come do let's hear 'em.
[join the rest of the Company going into the Next Room.]
