Enter Constable and Watch.
Con. Keep straight towards Bishopsgate: I'm deceived if I heard not somebody run that way.
Enter Maid with a bandbox.[92]
Watch. Stay, sir; her's somebody come from Aldgate Ward?
Maid. Alas! I shall be hanged for staying so long for this cuff.
Watch. Come before the constable here.
Maid. Let the constable come before me, and he please.
Con. How now! where ha' you been, pray, dame, ha!
Maid. For my mistress's ruff at her sempstress', sir; she must needs use it to-morrow, and that made me stay till it was done.
Con. Pray, who's your mistress? where dwell you?
