SCAN. A very desperate demonstration of your love to Angelica; and I think she has never given you any assurance of hers.
VAL. You know her temper; she never gave me any great reason either for hope or despair.
SCAN. Women of her airy temper, as they seldom think before they act, so they rarely give us any light to guess at what they mean. But you have little reason to believe that a woman of this age, who has had an indifference for you in your prosperity, will fall in love with your ill-fortune; besides, Angelica has a great fortune of her own; and great fortunes either expect another great fortune, or a fool.
SCENE IX.
[To them] Jeremy.
JERE. More misfortunes, sir.
VAL. What, another dun?
JERE. No, sir, but Mr. Tattle is come to wait upon you.
VAL. Well, I can’t help it, you must bring him up; he knows I don’t go abroad.
