Mrs Brain. He must be discovered, and I unavoidably undone![Aside.
[Brainsick goes to the door, and Woodall meets him: She shrieks out.
Brain. Monsieur Woodall!
Wood. Sir, begone, and make no noise, or you will spoil all.
Brain. Spoil all, quotha! what does he mean, in the name of wonder?
Wood. [Taking him aside.] Hark you, Mr Brainsick, is the devil in you, that you and your wife come hither, to disturb my intrigue, which you yourself engaged me in, with Mrs Tricksy, to revenge you on Limberham? Why, I had made an appointment with her here; but, hearing somebody come up, I retired into the closet, till I was satisfied it was not the keeper.
Brain. But why this intrigue in my wife's chamber?
Wood. Why, you turn my brains, with talking to me of your wife's chamber! do you lie in common? the wife and husband, the keeper and the mistress?
Mrs Brain. I am afraid they are quarrelling; pray heaven I get off.
Brain. Once again, I am the sultan of this place: Mr Limberham is the mogul of the next mansion.
Wood. Though I am a stranger in the house, it 083 is impossible I should be so much mistaken: I say, this is Limberham's lodging.
