Squire Sul. What 's all this? They tell me, spouse, that you had like to have been robbed.
Mrs. Sul. Truly, spouse, I was pretty near it, had not these two gentlemen interposed.
Squire Sul. How came these gentlemen here?
Mrs. Sul. That's his way of returning thanks, you must know. [201]
Count Bel. Garzoon, the question be apropos for all dat.
Sir Chas. You promised last night, sir, that you would deliver your lady to me this morning.
Squire Sul. Humph!
Arch. Humph! what do you mean by humph? Sir, you shall deliver her—in short, sir, we have saved you and your family; and if you are not civil, we 'll unbind the rogues, join with 'em, and set fire to your house. What does the man mean? not part with his wife! [211]
