Mrs. Cler. Mr. Gubbin, I am extremely pleased with your suit; 'tis antique, and originally from France.

Hump. It is always locked up, madam, when I'm in the country. My father prizes it mightily.

Mrs. Cler. 'Twould make a very pretty dancing suit in a masque. Oh! Captain Clerimont, I have a quarrel with you.

Enter Servant.

Ser. Madam, your ladyship's husband desires to know whether you see company to-day or not?

Mrs. Cler. Who, you clown?

Ser. Mr. Clerimont, madam.

Mrs. Cler. He may come in.

Enter Clerimont, Sen.

Mrs. Cler. Your very humble servant.
