give you my note for it immediately.

business. I suppose he intends to pay me by ruining you. Get you in
this instant: and remember, if ever I see you with him again I'll turn
you out of doors.




SCENE II--LUCKLESS, Mrs MONEYWOOD


_Luck_. Discharge all your ill-nature on me, madam, but spare
poor Miss Harriot.
