Ca. They put on all my Finery, let down my Hair, and dress'd me just as if it had been for my Wedding.
Eu. To a fat Monk, perhaps; Hem! a Mischief take this Cough.
Ca. I was carried from my Father's House to the College by broad Day-Light, and a World of People staring at me.
Eu. O these Scaramouches, how they know to wheedle the poor People! How many Days did you continue in that holy College of Virgins, forsooth?
Ca. Till Part of the twelfth Day.
Eu. But what was it that changed your Mind, that had been so resolutely bent upon it?
Ca. I must not tell you what it was, but it was something very considerable. When I had been there six Days, I sent for my Mother; I begged of her, and besought her, as she lov'd my Life, to get me out of the College again. She would not hear on't, but bad me hold to my Resolution. Upon that I sent for my Father, but he chid me too, telling me, that I had made him master his Affections, and that now he'd make me master mine, and not disgrace him, by starting from my Purpose. At last, when I saw that I could do no good with them this Way, I told my Father and Mother both, that to please them, I would submit to die, and that would certainly be my Fate, if they did not take me out, and that very quickly too; and upon this, they took me Home.
Eu. It was very well that you recanted before you had profess'd yourself for good and all: But still, I don't hear what it was changed your Mind so suddenly.
Ca. I never told any Mortal yet, nor shall.
Eu. What if I should guess?
