ACT V., SCENE II.
A Bedchamber in Lady Bountifuls House. Mrs. Sullen and Dorinda discovered undressed; a table and lights.
Dor. 'Tis very late, sister, no news of your spouse yet?
Mrs. Sul. No, I 'm condemned to be alone till towards four, and then perhaps I may be executed with his company.
Dor. Well, my dear, I'll leave you to your rest; you 'll go directly to bed, I suppose?
Mrs. Sul. I don't know what to do.—Heigh-ho!
Dor. That's a desiring sigh, sister.
Mrs. Sul. This is a languishing hour, sister.
Dor. And might prove a critical minute if the pretty fellow were here. [11]
