Mor. Yonder she walks, mumbling to herself. The Prince Antonio has blessed her with's observation; and ye win her but to him, your house bears the bell away. Accost her quaintly.
Tim. I warrant thee, Morbo; Madonna Timpania has effected wonders of more weight than a maidenhead. Have I ruined so many city-citadels to let in court-martialists; and shall this country-cottage hold out? I were more fit for a cart than a coach then, i' faith. How now, Millicent, how d'ye this morning?
Abs. Well, I do thank so good a landlady.
Tim. But hark you, Mill. Is the door close, Morbo?
Mor. As a usurer's conscience. Grace was coming in, till she saw the door shut upon her.
Tim. I'll set Grace about her business, and I come to her. Is here any work for Grace, with a wanion to her?[149] We shall have eavesdroppers, shall we?
Abs. Chastity guard me! how I tremble.
Tim. Come hither, Mistress Millicent. Fie, how you let your hair hang about your ears too! How do you like my house, Mill?
Abs. Well indeed, well.
Tim. Nay, I know a woman may rise here in one month, and she will herself. But truth's truth: I know you see something, as they say, and so forth. Did you see the gallant was here last till twelve?
