Jeremy. Count as you’ll have to go unfastened then.
Jane. O now you be a laughing at us. Call the wench down, or we shall never be ready in time.
Jeremy. Man and maid be both gone off. Same as t’others, us’ll have to do without service.
Liz. Gone off!
Jane. Runned clean away?
Jeremy. That’s about it.
Jane. Well now, sister, us’ll have to ask the little Miss to help we.
Jeremy. I’ve harnessed the mare a many time. Don’t see why I shouldn’t get the both of you fixed into the shafts like.
Liz and Jane. [Fanning themselves coyly.] O Master Jeremy—
Jeremy. Come now. Let’s have a try. I count as no one have a steadier hand nor me this side of the river, nor a finer eye for seeing as everything be in its place. I’ll settle the both of you afore I gets out the horse and trap. Turn round.
