SCENE II.--MARINETTE, ERASTE, GROS-RENE.


GR.-RE. Hist! Marinette.

MAR. Hallo! what are you doing there?

GR.-RE. Faith! do you ask? We were just talking about you.

MAR. Are you there too, sir? Upon my word you have made me trot about
like a flunkey for this hour past.

ERAS. How so?

MAR. I have walked ten miles to look for you, and give you my word

ERAS. What?

MAR. That you were neither at church, in the fashionable walk, at home,
nor in the market-place.
