Hog. Nay, you shall stay dinner; I'll return presently. Peter, some beer here for these worshipful gentlemen.
[Exeunt Hog and Peter.
Had. We shall be bold, no doubt; and that, old penny-father, you'll confess by to-morrow morning.
Light. Then his daughter is certainly thine, and condescends to all thy wishes?
Had. And yet you would not once believe it; as if a female's favour could not be obtained by any but he that wears the cap of maintenance;
When 'tis nothing but acquaintance and a bold spirit,
That may the chiefest prize 'mongst all of them inherit.
Light. Well, thou hast got one deserves the bringing home with trumpets, and falls to thee as miraculously as the £1000 did to the tailor. Thank your good fortune. But must Hog's man be made drunk?
Had. By all means; and thus it shall be effected: when he comes in with beer, do you upon some slight occasion fall out with him, and if you give him a cuff or two, it will give him cause to know you are the more angry, then will I slip in and take up the matter, and, striving to make you two friends, we'll make him drunk.
Light. It's done in conceit already. See where he comes.
Enter Peter.
