Cam. Not to lose time in fruitless complaints, let us pursue our new contrivance, that you may see your two mistresses, and I my one.
Aur. That will not now be difficult: This plot's so laid, that I defy the devil to make it miss. The woman of the house, by which they are to pass to church, is bribed; the ladies are by her acquainted with the design; and we need only to be there before them, and expect the prey, which will undoubtedly fall into the net.
Cam. Your man is made safe, I hope, from doing us any mischief?
Aur. He has disposed of himself, I thank him, for an hour or two: The fop would make me believe, that an unknown lady is in love with him, and has made him an assignation.
Cam. If he should succeed now, I should have the worse opinion of the sex for his sake.
Aur. Never doubt but he will succeed: Your brisk fool, that can make a leg, is ever a fine gentleman among the ladies, because he is just of their talent, and they understand him better than a wit.
Cam. Peace, the ladies are coming this way to the chapel, and their jailor with them: Let them go by without saluting, to avoid suspicion; and let us go off to prepare our engine.
Enter Mario, Laura, and Violetta.
Aur. I must have a look before we go. Ah, you little divine rogue! I'll be with you immediately.
[Exeunt Aurelian and Camillo.
Vio. Look you, sister, there are our friends, but take no notice.
