SCENE II. The Mall. Enter JESSAMY. Positively this Mall is a very pretty place. I hope the cits won't ruin it by repairs. To be sure, it won't do to speak of in the same day with Ranelagh or Vauxhall; however, it's a fine place for a young fellow to display his person to advantage. Indeed, nothing is lost here; the girls have taste, and I am very happy to find they have adopted the elegant London fashion of looking back, after a genteel fellow like me has passed them.--Ah! who comes here? This, by his awkwardness, must be the Yankee colonel's servant. I'll accost him. Enter JONATHAN. JESSAMY Votre tres-humble serviteur, Monsieur. I under- stand Colonel Manly, the Yankee officer, has the honour of your services. |
