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. _Money_. Oh! then it is plain. I have suspected your familiarity a long while. You are a base man. Is it not enough to stay three months in my house without paying me a farthing, but you must ruin my child? |
