Wid. But what shall we do, then?

Con. Dare you adventure to oblige us?

Wid. Thank you, sir? we'll go to my nephew's at Covent Garden: he may shift among his acquaintance.

Plea. It was well thought on; the Piazza is hard by, too.

Wid. We'll borrow your coach thither, and we'll send it you back again straight.

Con. We'll wait upon you, madam.

Wid. This accident troubles me. I am heartily sorry for the poor fellow.

Plea. I am sorry too: but pray, aunt, let us not forget ourselves in our grief. I am not ambitious of a red cross upon the door.[265]

Con. Mistress Pleasant is in the right; for if you stay, the officers will put you in.

Wid. We shall trouble you, sir, for your coach.
