Re-enter Lady Flippant and Lydia, after them Vincent and Dapperwit.
L. Flip. [To Lydia.] Nay, if you stay any longer, I must leave you again. [Going off.
Vin. We have overtaken them at last again. These are they: they separate too; and that's but a challenge to us.
Dap. Let me perish! ladies—
Lyd. Nay, good madam, let's unite, now here's the common enemy upon us.
Vin. Damn me! ladies—
Dap. Hold, a pox! you are too rough.—Let me perish! ladies—
Lyd. Not for want of breath, gentlemen:—we'll stay rather.
Dap. For want of your favour rather, sweet ladies.
L. Flip. [Aside.] That's Dapperwit, false villain! but he must not know I am here. If he should, I should lose his thrice agreeable company, and he would run from me as fast as from the bailiffs. [To Lydia.] What! you will not talk with 'em, I hope?
