(Enter Roger)
Roger:
Ladies and gentlemen, when you wish to enter supper is ready.
Squire: Yes. Well said. We mustn't lose time. I told you that Roger was a pretty fellow. I feel in a praiseworthy mood to drink wine. You will see if I remain in that mood. Come ladies—those who love me—follow me.
Edward:
Moments are very precious to lovers. Let's not lose any time.
(Exit all but Roger into the house)
Roger:
Well, thank God, business is good, our lovers are happy. May Heaven
make it last a long while! But what do I see? There, I believe comes
Jeremy, the valet of our absent master.
(Enter Jeremy)
Jeremy: At last I'm home. Hey, good day, Roger—the prodigal returns. How are you?
Roger:
And you—dreadful apparition, how are you?
Jeremy: As you see, couldn't be better. A little tired, but we had a very successful trip.
