Draw. Here’s a Gentleman, one Mr. Justice Merryman, enquires for Mr. Ventere the Merchant.
Mr. Ven. Here Boy, desire them to walk up. [Exit Drawer.] ’Tis my Brother, and a Counsellor, to make an End of this same Business.
Enter Justice Merryman and a Counsellor; both Tables rise and join together.
Merr. Your Servant, Gentlemen, your Servant: Counsellor Blunder and I have been canvasing the Business of this your Difference; and I believe, Brother, the Law will determine it as we have done; for it is point blank against you.
Mr. Ven. If it is, I must be contented: Well Sir, the Child’s your Wife’s, and you shall have it; and to endear you the more to’t, I’ll settle my part of the Estate on you and yours for ever: Give me your Hand.
[They shake Hands.
We now are Friends.
Merr. Why that’s well said.
Couns. We all are Witness to the Agreement.
Omnes. All, all.
Comp. Nay I scorn to be outdone in Civility; therefore if you please I have a Gallon or two of Prize-Wine, and half a Dozen of good sound Bruges-Capons, which I’ll treat you and this good Company with at Supper; but no more Mutton, no not a bit.
