Gwil. Sir, that will I do, if the gentlemen please to hear it. [They all rise, and come forward with him.
Gwil. "To pee and not to pee," &c.[138]
Sev. Most admirably spoke, sir. Be pleased to give us time to concert measures what day to act this play. Let our tailor wait upon you to adjust the shape and all things necessary. [Exit Gwillyn.
Hum. It's well we have got well clear of this humorous exceptious gentleman; but I was in terrible pain lest he should have observed your inclination to laugh.—But let us not lose time, but go on to answer other persons. [Rings the bell.
Enter Servant.
Hum. Who waits without?
Servant. Very many people, sir; but the lady with her daughter says she has been here so often that she will be next admitted.
Sev. She will! she insists to see us altogether and makes a difficulty even to show her daughter's face. Now that is so preposterous and humourous, that I could not answer her civilly and in general, and so put her off.
Hum. Let her come in, however, and have her answer from us all.
Enter Mrs. Fennell, with her Daughter.
