Eu. What, into your Father's House?
Po. Directly thither; but I pretended she was a Friend's Wife, who was to come to her in a little Time.
Gl. Did your Father believe it?
Po. He smelt the Matter out in three or four Days time, and then there was a cruel Scolding. However, in this Interim I did not leave off Feasting, Gaming, and other extravagant Diversions. And in short, my Father continuing to rate me, saying he would have no such cackling Gossips under his Roof, and ever and anon threatning to discard me, I march'd off, remov'd to another Place with my Pullet, and she brought me some young Chickens.
Pa. Where had you Money all the While?
Po. My Mother gave me some by Stealth, and I ran over Head and Ears in Debt.
Eu. Had any Body so little Wit as to lend you?
Po. There are some Persons who will trust no Body more readily than they will a Spendthrift.
Pa. And what next?
Po. At last my Father was going about to disinherit me in good earnest. Some Friends interpos'd, and made up the Breach upon this Condition; that I should renounce the French Woman, and marry one of our own Country.
