Cher. No wonder, sir—but, in short, sir, this very minute a gang of rogues are gone to rob my Lady Bountiful's house.
Aim. How!
Cher. I dogged them to the very door, and left them breaking in.
Aim. Have you alarmed any body else with the news?
Cher. No, no, sir; I wanted to have discovered the whole plot, and twenty other things, to your man, Martin; but I have searched the whole house, and can't find him; where is he?
Aim. No matter, child; will you guide me immediately to the house?
Cher. With all my heart, sir: my Lady Bountiful is my godmother, and I love Mrs. Dorinda so well—
Aim. Dorinda! the name inspires me! the glory and the danger shall be all my own——Come, my life, let me but get my sword. [Exeunt.
