Le. How came that Whimsey into her Head?
Gi. I can't tell, but there's no persuading her out of it by all that can be said to her.
Le. You should take Care that there be no Tricksters that inveagle or draw her away.
Gi. I know these Kidnappers well enough, and I drive this Kind of Cattel as far from my House as I can.
Le. But what do you intend to do then? Do you intend to let her have her Humour?
Gi. No, I'll prevent it if possible; I'll try every Method to alter her Mind; but if she persists in it, I'll not force her against her Will, lest I should be found to fight against God, or rather to fight against the Monks.
Le. Indeed you speak very religiously; but take Care to try her Constancy throughly, lest she should afterwards repent it, when it is too late.
Gi. I'll do my utmost Endeavours.
Le. What Employment do your Sons follow?
Gi. The eldest has been married this good While, and will be a Father in a little Time; I have sent the youngest away to Paris, for he did nothing but play while he was here.
