Wood. Or, if he be not, well make him such a kind of man.
Mrs Brain. So fantastical, so musical, his talk all rapture, and half nonsense: like a clock out of order, set him a-going, and he strikes eternally. Besides, he thinks me such a fool, that I could half resolve to revenge myself, in justification of my wit.
Wood. Come, come, no half resolutions among lovers; I'll hear no more of him, till I have revenged you fully. Go out and watch, Judith.
[Exit Judith.
Mrs Brain. Yet, I could say, in my defence, that my friends married me to him against my will.
Wood. Then let us put your friends, too, into the quarrel: it shall go hard, but I'll give you a revenge for them.
Enter Judith again, hastily.
How now? what's the matter?
Mrs Brain. Can'st thou not speak? hast thou seen a ghost?—As I live, she signs horns! that must be for my husband: he's returned.
[Judith looks ghastly, and signs horns.
Jud. I would have told you so, if I could have spoken for fear.
Mrs Brain. Hark, a knocking! What shall we do? [Knocking.
There's no dallying in this case: here you must not be found, that's certain; but Judith hath a chamber within mine; haste quickly thither; I'll secure the rest.
