Young. You shall. If you don’t know your duty, I’ll teach it you. Come Sir, come.—[Exit YOUNGHUSBAND dragging off DISMAL, L. H. D.

[SCENE II.]

A Room at a Boarding House.

Enter MRS. LYNX, followed by MRS. CODDLE, MRS. YOUNGHUSBAND, MRS. DISMAL, and MRS. DOVE.

Mrs. Cod. The unhappy creature, Mrs. Belvidera Coddle, is lodging here, you tell me.—(To MRS. DISMAL.)

Mrs. Dis. Yes, ’twas at the door of this house that I saw Mr. Lynx talking to her yesterday.

Mrs. Cod. As she is not within, I shall look in again. I am resolved to see her, for the more I reflect, the more I am incensed against my husband. Oh! I am a wretched woman.

Mrs. Ly. Indeed, I am.

Mrs. Dove. So am I.

Mrs. Dis. So am I.
