Col. Madam, I must needs go Home for half an Hour.
Miss. Why, Colonel, they say, the Devil’s at Home.
Lady Answerall. Well, but sit while you stay; ’tis as cheap sitting as standing.
Col. No, Madam; while I’m standing I’m going.
Miss. Nay, let him go; I promise him, we won’t tear his Cloaths to hold him.
Lady Smart. I suppose, Colonel, we keep you from better Company; I mean only as to myself.
Col. Madam, I am all Obedience.
[Col. sits down.
Lady Smart. Lord, Miss, how can you drink your Tea so hot? Sure your Mouth’s pav’d.
How do you like this Tea, Colonel?
