LOVE IN A WOOD;
OR,
ST. JAMES'S PARK.
ACT THE FIRST.
SCENE I.—Gripe's House, in the evening.
Enter Lady Flippant and Mrs. Joyner.
Lady Flip. Not a husband to be had for money!—Come, come, I might have been a better housewife for myself, as the world goes now, if I had dealt for an heir with his guardian, uncle, or mother-in-law; and you are no better than a chouse, a cheat.
Mrs. Joyn. I a cheat, madam!
L. Flip. I am out of my money, and patience too.
Mrs. Joyn. Do not run out of your patience, whatever you do:—'tis a necessary virtue for a widow without a jointure, in truly.
