Skin. I am obliged to you, Monsieur—are the Lawyers come, Lucy? Mr. Littlewit and Doctor Leatherhead?
Lucy. Yes Sir, they have been here a considerable time.
Skin. Desire them to walk in.
Lucy. So now the Murder's coming out.(Exit Lucy)
Skin. Nephew, I am at last resolved to make my Will; I shall make a proper provision for you in it. But as our Soul is the immortal part of us,[ [4] I must take Care of that the first thing I do. Therefore I am resolved to appropriate so much of my Fortune as will be sufficient for that purpose to the building of an Almshouse.

Skin. So Gentlemen! I have altered my Mind, Mr. Littlewit, since I saw you last.
