Man. No, no, if she's engag'd, I shall call again.
Sir Fran. Ods-heart! but you mun see her naw, Cousin; what! the best Friend I have in the World!—--Here! Sweet-heart! [To a Servant without.] pr'ythee desire my Lady, and the Gentleman to come down a bit; tell her here's Cousin Manly come to wait upon her.
Man. Pray, Sir, who may the Gentleman be?
Sir Fran. You mun know him to be sure; why it's Count Basset.
Man. Oh! is it he?—Your Family will be infinitely happy in his acquaintance.
Sir Fran. Troth! I think so too: He's the civilest Man that ever I knew in my life——why! here he would go out of his own lodging, at an hour's warning, purely to oblige my family. Wasn't that kind, naw?
Man. Extremely civil—the Family is in admirable hands already.
Sir Fran. Then my Lady likes him hugely—all the time of York Races, she would never be without him.
Man. That was happy, indeed! and a prudent Man, you know, should always take care that his Wife may have innocent company.
Sir Fran. Why ay! that's it! and I think there could not be such another.
