SCENE III. Peachum’s Lock.
A Table with Wine, Brandy, Pipes and Tobacco.
Peachum, Lockit.
Lockit. The Coronation Account, Brother Peachum, is of so intricate a nature, that I believe it will never be settled.
Peachum. It consists indeed of a great Variety of Articles.—It was worth to our People, in Fees of different kinds, above ten Instalments.—This is part of the Account, Brother, that lies open before us.
Lockit. A Lady’s Tail of rich Brocade:—that, I see, is dispos’d of.
Peachum. To Mrs. Diana Trapes, the Tally-Woman, and she will make a good Hand on’t in Shoes and Slippers, to trick out young Ladies, upon their going into Keeping.—
Lockit. But I don’t see any Article of the Jewels.
Peachum. Those are so well known that they must be sent abroad—You’ll find them enter’d under the Article of Exportation.—As for the Snuff-Boxes, Watches, Swords, &c.—I thought it best to enter them under their several Heads.
Lockit. Seven and twenty Women’s Pockets complete; with the several things therein contain’d; all Seal’d, Number’d, and Enter’d.
