Lady Waitfor't discovered at her Toilette. Letty waiting.

Lady. Mr Vapid not come yet, Letty?

Letty. No, ma'am,—but the servant, who found him at the tavern, said he would be here immediately.

Lady. I protest, I am almost weary of them all.—[Noise without.] See who's there.

[Letty listens, and returns.

Letty. Mr Vapid at last:—now, pray your ladyship, insist on his explaining every thing to my lord.

Lady. Yes; but vilely as he has treated me, I must still be calm.

Vapid, putting his head in.

Walk in, sir, walk in.

Vapid. No, ma'am, I'd rather stay here.
