[Gives it to Loveyet.

Loveyet. [Opens the letter and reads.] I am heartily glad, 'faith! [Reads again.]—'Od's my life, I'm as happy as the Great Mogul, and as good-natur'd—

Humphry. That's clever; I likes to see people good-natur'd,—it makes me as happy as the Great Pogul.

Humphry. Why your son, to be sure.

Loveyet. When did you leave the Havanna, pray?

Humphry. The Havanna?

Humphry. Who—me?—not I.

Loveyet. Why, what the plague makes you think he was my son, then?
