_Money_. Yes, you told me of a play, and stuff: but you never
told me you would order a gentleman to pay me. A sweet, pretty,
good-humoured gentleman he is, heaven bless him! Well, you have

sure the gentleman himself will own I gave you that character.

_Luck_. Oh! I smell you now.--You see, madam, I am better than my

_Money_. All pure gold.

_Luck_. I have a vast deal of silver, which he brought me,

_Money_. Anything to oblige you, sir.

_Luck_. Jack, bring out the great bag, number one. Please to
tell the money, madam, on that table.

_Money_. It's easily told: heaven knows there's not so much on't.

_Jack_. Sir, the bag is so heavy, I cannot bring it in.
