Scene V. A Room in Maria's House.
Maria and Old Loveyet discovered sitting.
Loveyet. It certainly is a mistake, madam; I have sent nothing out of my house to-day.
Maria. He said it was from Mr. Loveyet, sir.—I confess I could not conceive what could induce you to send me a trunk of money.
Loveyet. Who brought it, madam?
Maria. A clownish kind of person, sir,—a countryman, I believe.
Loveyet. Ah, now I begin to suspect something.—What a sad rascal!—want to cheat his father! But this lucky mistake will spoil his project.
[Aside.
Maria. You are striving to unravel the mystery, sir.—I am afraid the man has made some serious mistake.
