2d Waiter. The Hardcastles of Hertfordshire.
1st Waiter. The Hammonds.
2d Waiter. Don't tell me: does not Hardcastle begin, with an H?
1st Waiter. So does Hammond for that matter.
2d Waiter. Faith, so it does if you go to spell it, I did not think of that. I begin to be of your opinion: he is certainly a Hammond.
1st Waiter. Here comes Susan Chambermaid: maybe she can tell.
Enter SUSAN.
Both. Well, Susan, have you heard anything who the strange gentleman is?
Susan. Haven't you heard? it's all come out! Mrs. Guesswell, the parson's widow, has been here about it. I overheard her talking in confidence to Mrs. Setter and Mrs. Pointer, and she says they were holding a sort of a cummitty about it.
Both. What? What?
