Niece. Farewell, rustic.

ACT THE FOURTH.

SCENE.—A Street.

Enter Captain Clerimont and Pounce.

Cler. Does she expect me then, at this very instant?

Pounce. I tell you, she ordered me to bring the painter at this very hour, precisely, to draw her niece; for, to make her picture peculiarly charming, she has now that downcast pretty shame, that warm cheek, glowing with the fear and hope of to-day's fate, with the inviting, coy affection of a bride, all in her face at once. Now I know you are a pretender that way.
