SCENE , A GALLERY IN LADY BOUNTYFUL'S HOUSE . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.85)

</heading>

<font> Mrs. </font> Sullen <font> and </font> Dorinda <font> meeting .
</font> (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.87)

<font> Dor. </font> Morrow , my dear Sister ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.88)

are you for Church this Morning ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.89)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> Any where to Pray ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.90)

for Heaven alone can help me : (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.91)

But , I think , <font> Dorinda </font> , $there $'s {TEXT:there's} no
Form of Prayer in the Liturgy against bad Husbands .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.92)

<font> Dor. </font> But $there $'s {TEXT:there's} a Form of Law in
<font> Doctors-Commons </font> ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.93)

and I swear , Sister Sullen , rather than see you thus continually
discontented , I would advise you to apply to that :
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.94)

For besides the part that I bear in your vexatious Broils , as being
Sister to the Husband , and Friend to the Wife ; your Example gives me
such an Impression of Matrimony , that I shall be apt to condemn my
Person to a long Vacation all its Life . - (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.95)

But supposing , Madam , that you brought it to a Case of Separation ,
what can you urge against your Husband ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.96)

My Brother is , first , the most constant Man alive .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.97)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> The most constant Husband , I $grant $ye
{TEXT:grant'ye} . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.98)

<font> Dor. </font> He never sleeps from you . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.99)

(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.100)

<font> Dor. </font> He allows you a Maintenance suitable to your
Quality . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.101)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> A Maintenance ! (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.102)

do you take me , Madam , for an hospital Child , that I must sit down ,
and bless my Benefactors for Meat , Drink and Clothes ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.103)

As I take it , Madam , I brought your brother Ten thousand Pounds , out
of which , I might expect some pretty things , call'd Pleasures .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.104)

<font> Dor. </font> You share in all the Pleasures that the Country
affords . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.105)

Mrs. <font> Sul. </font> Country Pleasures ! (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.106)

Racks and Torments ! (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.107)

dost think , Child , that my Limbs were made for leaping of Ditches ,
and clambring over Stiles ; or that my Parents wisely foreseeing my
future Happiness in Country-pleasures , had early instructed me in the
rural Accomplishments of drinking fat Ale , playing at Whisk , and
smoaking Tobacco with my Husband ; or of spreading of Plaisters ,
brewing of Diet-drinks , and stilling Rosemary-Water with the good old
Gentlewoman , my Mother-in-Law . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,11.108)

<P_12>

<font> Dor. </font> $I $'m {TEXT:I'm} sorry , Madam , that it is not
more in our power to divert you ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.110)

I cou'd wish indeed that our Entertainments were a little more polite ,
or your Taste a little less refin'd : (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.111)

But , pray , Madam , how came the Poets and Philosophers that labour'd
so much in hunting after Pleasure , to place it at last in a Country
Life ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.112)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> Because they wanted Money , Child , to find
out the Pleasures of the Town : (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.113)

Did you ever see a Poet or Philosopher worth Ten thousand Pound ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.114)

if you can shew me such a Man , $I $'ll {TEXT:I'll} lay you Fifty Pound
$you $'ll {TEXT:you'll} find him somewhere within the Weekly Bills . -
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.115)

; (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.116)

in their Landschape every <font> Phillis </font> has her <font> Coridon
</font> , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.117)

every murmuring Stream , and every flowry Mead gives froth {COM:sic}
Alarms to Love . - (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.118)

But yonder I see my <font> Coridon </font> , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.120)

if ever you marry , beware of a sullen , silent Sot , one $that $'s

He came home this Morning at his usual Hour of Four ,
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.134)

waken'd me out of a sweet Dream of something else , by tumbling over
the Tea-table , which he broke all to pieces , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.135)

after his Man and he had rowl'd about the Room like sick Passengers in
a Storm , he comes flounce {COM:sic} into Bed , dead as a Salmon into a
Fishmonger's Basket ; his Feet cold as Ice , his Breath hot as a
Furnace , and his Hands and his Face as greasy as his Flanel Night-cap
. - (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.136)

Oh Matrimony ! - (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.137)

He tosses up the Clothes with a barbarous swing over his Shoulders ,
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.138)

disorders the whole Oeconomy of my Bed , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.139)

leaves me half naked , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,12.140)

SCENE , THE INN . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.238)

</heading>

<font> Enter </font> Aimwell <font> dress'd , and </font> Archer .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.240)

<font> Aim. </font> And was she the Daughter of the House ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.241)

<font> Arch. </font> The Landlord is so blind as to think so ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.242)

but I dare swear she has better Blood in her Veins .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.243)

<font> Aim. </font> Why dost think so ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.244)

<font> Arch. </font> Because the Baggage has a pert <font> Je ne scai
quoi </font> , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.245)

she reads Plays , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.246)

keeps a Monkey , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.247)

and is troubled with Vapours . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.248)

<font> Aim. </font> By which Discoveries I guess that you know more of
her . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.249)

<font> Arch. </font> Not yet , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.250)

Faith , the Lady gives her self Airs , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.251)

forsooth , nothing under a Gentleman . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.252)

<font> Aim. </font> Let me take her in hand . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.253)

<font> Arch. </font> Say one Word more o'that , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.254)

and therefore you must pimp for your Master . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.258)

<font> Arch. </font> In the usual Forms , good Sir , after I have
serv'd my self . - (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.259)

But to our Business : (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.260)

You are so well dress'd , <font> Tom </font> , and make so handsome a
Figure , that I fancy you may do Execution in a Country Church ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.261)

the exteriour part strikes first , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.262)

and $you $'re {TEXT:you're} in the right to make that Impression
favourable . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.263)

<font> Aim. </font> $There $'s {TEXT:There's} something in that which
may turn to Advantage : (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.264)

The Appearance of a Stranger in a Country Church draws as many Gazers
as a blazing Star ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.265)

no sooner he comes into the Cathedral , but a Train of Whispers runs
buzzing round the Congregation in a moment ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.266)

Who is he ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.267)

whence comes he ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.268)

do you know him ? - (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.269)

Then I , Sir , tips me the Verger with half a Crown ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.270)

he pockets the Simony , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,15.271)

and Inducts me into the <P_16> best Pue in the Church ,
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.272)

I pull out my Snuff-box , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.273)

turn my self round , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.274)

bow to the Bishop , or the Dean , if he be the commanding Officer ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.275)

single out a Beauty , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.276)

rivet both my Eyes to hers , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.277)

set my Nose a bleeding by the Strength of Imagination ,
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.278)

and shew the whole Church my concern by my endeavouring to hide it ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.279)

after the Sermon , the whole Town gives me to her for a Lover ,
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.280)

and by perswading the Lady that I am a dying for her , the Tables are
turn'd , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.281)

and she in good earnest falls in Love with me ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.282)

<font> Arch. </font> $There $'s {TEXT:There's} nothing in this , <font>
Tom , </font> without a Precedent ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.283)

but instead of riveting your Eyes to a Beauty , try to fix 'em upon a
Fortune , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.284)

$that $'s {TEXT:that's} our Business at present .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.285)

<font> Aim. </font> Pshaw , no Woman can be a Beauty without a Fortune
. - (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.286)

Let me alone , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.287)

for I am a Mark'sman . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.288)

<font> Arch. Tom . </font> (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.289)

<font> Aim. </font> Ay . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.290)

<font> Arch. </font> When were you at Church before , pray ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.291)

<font> Aim. </font> Um - I was there at the Coronation .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.292)

<font> Arch. </font> And how can you expect a Blessing by going to
Church now ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.293)

<font> Aim. </font> Blessing ! (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.294)

nay , <font> Frank </font> , I ask but for a Wife .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.295)

<font> Exit . </font> (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.296)

<font> Arch. </font> Truly the Man is not very unreasonable in his
Demands . (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.297)

<font> Exit at the opposite Door . </font> (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.298)

<font> Enter </font> Bonniface <font> and </font> Cherry .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.299)

(FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.303)

why you jade , as the saying is , can any Woman wheedle that is not
young , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.305)

you'r Mother was useless at five and twenty ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.306)

not wheedle ! (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.307)

would you make your Mother a Whore and me a Cuckold ; as the saying is
? (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.308)

I tell you his Silence confesses it , (FARQUHAR-E3-P1,16.309)

and his Master spends his Money so freely , and is so much a Gentleman
every manner of way that he must be a Highwayman .
