L. Ful. How much redeems it?
Bred. Madam, five hundred Pounds.
L. Ful. Enough—you shall in some disguise convey this Money to him, as from an unknown hand: I wou’d not have him think it comes from me, for all the World: That Nicety and Virtue I’ve profest, I am resolved to keep.
Pert. If I were your Ladyship, I wou’d make use of Sir Cautious’s Cash: pay him in his own Coin.
Bred. Your Ladyship wou’d make no Scruple of it, if you knew how this poor Gentleman has been us’d by my unmerciful Master.
L. Ful. I have a Key already to his Counting-House; it being lost, he had another made, and this I found and kept.
Bred. Madam, this is an excellent time for’t, my Master being gone to give my Sister Leticia at Church.
L. Ful. ‘Tis so, I’ll go and commit the Theft, whilst you prepare to carry it, and then we’ll to dinner with your Sister the Bride.
