Wood. Recover breath, and I'll instruct you in the next chamber.
Mrs Brain. But my husband follows me at heels.
Wood. Has he seen you?
Mrs Brain. I hope not: I thought I had left him sure enough at the Exchange; but, looking behind me, as I entered into the house, I saw him walking a round rate this way.
Wood. Since he has not seen you, there is no danger; you need but step into my chamber, and there we will lock ourselves up, and transform him in a twinkling.
Mrs Brain. I had rather have got into my own; but Judith is gone out with the key, I doubt.
Wood. Yes, by your appointment. But so much 093 the better; for when the cuckold finds no company, he will certainly go a sauntering again.
Mrs Brain. Make haste, then.
Wood. Immediately.—[Goes to open the Door hastily, and breaks his Key.] What is the matter here? the key turns round, and will not open! As I live, we are undone! with too much haste it is broken!
Mrs Brain. Then I am lost; for I cannot enter into my own.
