How do'e, Mrs. Patch, what News from your Lady?
Patch. That's for your private Ear, Madam. Sir George, there's a Friend of yours has an urgent Occasion for your Assistance.
Sir Geo. His Name.
Patch. Charles.
Marpl. Ha! then there is something a-foot that I know nothing of. I'll wait on you, Sir George.
Sir Geo. A third Person may not be proper perhaps; as soon as I have dispatch'd my own Affairs, I am at his Service. I'll send my Servant to tell him, I'll wait upon him in half an Hour.
Miran. How come you employ'd in this Message, Mrs. Patch?
Patch. Want of Business, Madam. I am discharg'd by my Master, but hope to serve my Lady still.
Miran. How discharg'd! you must tell me the whole Story within.
Patch. With all my Heart, Madam.
