Enter Miss Richland and Sir William.
Sir Will. But how do you know, madam, that my nephew intends setting off from this place?
Miss Rich. My maid assured me he was come to this inn, and my own knowledge of his intending to leave the kingdom, suggested the rest. But what do I see? my guardian here before us! Who, my dear sir, could have expected meeting you here? to what accident do we owe this pleasure?
Croaker. To a fool, I believe.
Miss Rich. But to what purpose did you come?
Croaker. To play the fool.
Miss Rich. But with whom?
Croaker. With greater fools than myself.
Miss Rich. Explain.
Croaker. Why, Mr. Honeywood brought me here, to do nothing now I am here; and my son is going to be married to I don't know who that is here; so now you are as wise as I am.
