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.
