Mar. Go into the coach, nieces, and bid the coachman drive apace. As for you, mistress, your smooth tongue shall not excuse you.
Lau. By your favour, sir, I'll accept of the gentlewoman's civility; I cannot stir a step farther.
Fron. Come in, sweet buds of beauty, you shall have a fire in an inner chamber; and if you please to repose yourself a while, sir, in another room, they shall come out, and wait on you immediately.
Mar. Well, it must be so.
Fron. [Whispering the Ladies.] Your friends are ready in the garden, and will be with you as soon as we have shaken off your uncle.
Ben. A cheat, a cheat! a rank one! I smell it, old sir, I smell it.
Mar. What's the matter with the fellow? Is he distracted?
Ben. No, 'tis you are more likely to be distracted but that there goes some wit to the being mad; and you have not the least grain of wit, to be gulled thus grossly.
Fron. What does the fellow mean?
Ben. The fellow means to detect your villany, and to recover his lost reputation of a wit.
