Hast. Yes, she'll bring it forth, with a witness.
Marl. Wasn't I right? I believe you'll allow that I acted prudently upon this occasion.
Hast. (Aside.) He must not see my uneasiness.
Marl. You seem a little disconcerted though, methinks. Sure nothing has happened.
Hast. No, nothing. Never was in better spirits in all my life. And so you left it with the landlady, who, no doubt, very readily undertook the charge?
Marl. Rather too readily. For she not only kept the casket; but, through her great precaution, was going to keep the messenger too. Ha! ha! ha!
Hast. He! he! he! They are safe, however.
Marl. As a guinea in a miser'spurse.
Hast. (Aside.) So now all hopes of fortune are at an end, and we must set off without it. (To him. ) Well, Charles, I'll leave you to your meditations on the pretty bar-maid; and, he! he! he! may you be as successful for yourself as you have been for me.
Exit.
