Roch. Nay, I would wait the lady’s answer.
Tin. Wait! take an excursion to the country; let
Her answer wait for you!
Roch. Indeed!
Tin. Indeed!
Befits a lord nought like indifference.
Say an estate should fall to you, you’d take it
As it concerned more a stander by
Than you. As you’re a lord, be sure you ever
Of that make little other men make much of;
Nor do the thing they do, but the right contrary.
Where the distinction else ’twixt them and you?

SCENE II.—An Apartment in Master Heartwell’s House.
[Master Walter discovered looking through title-deeds and papers.]

Exact in place and time. This lord’s advances
Receives she,—as, I augur, in the spleen
Of wounded pride she will,—my course is clear.
She comes—all’s well—the tempest rages still.
[Julia enters, and paces the room in a state of high excitement.]
Julia. What have my eyes to do with water? Fire
Becomes them better!
