L. Blun. A most accomplish’d Person—
Exeunt.
[ Scene III.] [Another Chamber.]
Enter Olivia and Teresia, in Mens Clothes.
Oliv. Well, the Ball does not begin these three Hours, and we’ll divert our selves at my Aunt’s Basset-Table, which you see is preparing; her natural Propensity to oblige both Sexes makes her keep a Bank on purpose to bring ’em together. There we shall see the old and the young, the ugly and the handsome, Fools that have Money, and Wits that have none; and if the Table affords nothing to please the Appetite, we’ll abroad for Forage.
Enter Sir Merlin pulling in George, follow’d by Sir Morgan, Page and Footmen to George.
Sir Mer. Nay, Sir, I am resolv’d you shall honour my Aunt’s Basset-Table—
Geo. My Aunt’s Basset-Table? There may be Money stirring among these Fools, and Fortune may befriend me. Aside.
Sir Mer. Sir Morgan, pray know this worthy Gentleman, I have the honour to lodge in the House with him. They salute one [another].
Sir, this is Sir Morgan Blunder, a Person of Quality in Wales, I assure you.
