Foss. Her jewels, her strong box, and all her things left behind! if her uncle should discover her marriage, he may lay an embargo upon her goods.——I'll send for them.

Enter a boy with a letter.

Boy. This is the ho-ho-house.

Foss. Child, whom dost thou want?

Boy. Mistress Townley's ma-ma-maid.

Foss. What is your business?

Boy. A l-l-letter.

Foss. Who sent this letter?

Boy. O-o-one.

Foss. Give it me, child. An honest boy. Give it me, and I'll deliver it myself. A very honest boy.
