    MISS   HARDCASTLE。             I   never  saw   anything   like   it�此  �and  a   man   of 

the world too� �

    HARDCASTLE。            Ay�察�he learned it all abroadwhat a fool was I�察�to 

think a young man could learn modesty by travelling。             He might as soon 

learn wit at a masquerade。 

    MISS HARDCASTLE。              It seems all natural to him。 

    HARDCASTLE。            A good deal assisted by bad company and a French 

dancing´master。 

    MISS      HARDCASTLE。            Sure     you   mistake�察   �papa�     �A    French 

dancing´master       could   never    have   taught   him    that  timid   lookthat 

awkward addressthat bashful manner

    HARDCASTLE。            Whose look�拭       �whose manner�察�child�拭�

    MISS      HARDCASTLE。            Mr。    Marlow's�此    �his  mauvaise     honte�察  �his 

timidity�察�struck me at the first sight。 

    HARDCASTLE。             Then your first sight deceived you�察�for I think him 

one of the most brazen first sights that ever astonished my senses。 

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               Sure�察�sir�察�you rally�     �I never saw any one so 

modest。 

    HARDCASTLE。             And    can   you   be  serious�拭   �I  never   saw    such   a 

bouncing�察�swaggering puppy since I was born。              Bully Dawson was but a 

fool to him。 

    MISS   HARDCASTLE。              Surprising�     �He   met   me   with   a   respectful 

bow�察�a stammering voice�察�and a look fixed on the ground。 

    HARDCASTLE。            He   met   me   with   a   loud   voice�察  �a   lordly  air�察  �and   a 

familiarity that made my blood freeze again。 

    MISS   HARDCASTLE。             He   treated   me   with   diffidence   and   respect�察�

censured the manners of the age�察�admired the prudence of girls that never 

laughed�察  �tired   me   with   apologies   for   being   tiresome�察  �then   left   the   room 

with a bow�察�and ;Madam�察�I would not for the world detain you。; 

    HARDCASTLE。            He spoke to me as if he knew me all his life before�察�

asked twenty  questions�察 �and never   waited   for an   answer�察  �interrupted   my 

best remarks with some silly pun�察�and when I was in my best story of the 

Duke   of   Marlborough   and   Prince   Eugene�察  �he   asked   if   I   had   not   a   good 

hand at making punch。         Yes�察�Kate�察�he asked your father if he was a maker 

of punch� �

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               One of us must certainly be mistaken。 

    HARDCASTLE。              If   he   be   what    he   has   shown     himself�察   �I'm 

determined he shall never have my consent。 

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               And if he be the sullen thing I take him�察�he 

shall never have mine。 

    HARDCASTLE。            In one thing then we are agreedto reject him。 

    MISS      HARDCASTLE。            Yes�此   �but  upon    conditions。     For    if  you 

should   find   him   less   impudent�察  �and   I   more   presumingif   you   find   him 

more respectful�察�and I more importunateI don't knowthe fellow is well 

enough for a manCertainly�察�we don't meet many such at a horse´race in

the country。 

    HARDCASTLE。            If we   should find him soBut   that's impossible。 

The first appearance has done my business。            I'm seldom deceived in that。 

    MISS HARDCASTLE。                And   yet there   may be   many good qualities 

under that first appearance。 

    HARDCASTLE。            Ay�察�when a girl finds a fellow's outside to her taste�察�

she then sets about guessing the rest of his furniture。          With her�察�a smooth 

face stands for good sense�察�and a genteel figure for every virtue。 

    MISS      HARDCASTLE。           I   hope�察  �sir�察 �a  conversation   begun    with  a 

compliment       to   my    good    sense�察   �won't   end    with   a   sneer    at  my 

understanding�拭�

    HARDCASTLE。            Pardon   me�察  �Kate。     But   if   young   Mr。   Brazen   can 

find the art of reconciling contradictions�察�he may please us both�察�perhaps。 

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               And as one of us must be mistaken�察�what if 

we go to make further discoveries�拭�

    HARDCASTLE。            Agreed。      But depend on't I'm in the right。 

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               And depend on't I'm not much in the wrong。 

��Exeunt。�А�

       Enter Tony�察�running in with a casket。 

       TONY。     Ecod� �I have got them。         Here they are。     My cousin Con's 

necklaces�察  �bobs   and   all。  My   mother   shan't   cheat   the   poor   souls   out   of

       Enter HASTINGS。 

       HASTINGS。        My   dear   friend�察  �how   have   you   managed   with   your 

mother�拭     �I   hope   you   have   amused   her   with   pretending   love   for   your 

cousin�察�and that you are willing to be reconciled at last�拭          �Our horses will 

be refreshed in a short time�察�and we shall soon be ready to set off。 

     TONY。      And     here's  something     to  bear   your   charges   by   the  way 

��giving the casket���察�your sweetheart's jewels。         Keep them�此�and hang those�察�

I say�察�that would rob you of one of them。 

    HASTINGS。          But how have you procured them from your mother�拭�

     TONY。      Ask me   no questions�察�and   I'll tell you no fibs。        I   procured 

them by the rule of thumb。        If I had not a key to every drawer in mother's 

bureau�察�how could I go to the alehouse so often as I do�拭             �An honest man

     HASTINGS。         Thousands do it every day。          But to be plain with you�察�

Miss   Neville   is   endeavouring   to   procure   them   from   her   aunt   this   very 

instant。    If   she   succeeds�察  �it   will   be   the   most   delicate   way   at   least   of 

obtaining them。 

     TONY。       Well�察�keep them�察�till you know how it will be。             But I know 

how it will be well enough�察�she'd as soon part with the only sound tooth in 

her head。 

     HASTINGS。         But   I   dread   the   effects   of   her   resentment�察  �when   she 

finds she has lost them。 

     TONY。      Never   you   mind   her   resentment�察 �leave   ME  to   manage   that。 

I don't value her resentment the bounce of a cracker。               Zounds� �here they 

are。    Morrice� �Prance�       。�Exit HASTINGS。�А�

       Enter MRS。 HARDCASTLE and MISS NEVILLE。 

       MRS。 HARDCASTLE。               Indeed�察�Constance�察�you amaze   me。            Such 

a  girl   as   you   want   jewels� �It   will   be time   enough   for  jewels�察  �my  dear�察�

twenty years hence�察�when your beauty begins to want repairs。 

     MISS NEVILLE。           But what will repair beauty at forty�察�will certainly 

improve it at twenty�察�madam。 

     MRS。  HARDCASTLE。               Yours�察  �my   dear�察  �can   admit   of   none。 That 

natural blush is beyond a thousand ornaments。              Besides�察�child�察�jewels are 

quite out   at   present。   Don't   you   see half   the   ladies   of our   acquaintance�察�

my Lady Kill´daylight�察�and Mrs。 Crump�察�and the rest of them�察�carry their 

jewels to town�察�and bring nothing but paste and marcasites back。 

     MISS NEVILLE。           But who knows�察�madam�察�but somebody that shall 

be nameless would like me best with all my little finery about me�拭�

     MRS。 HARDCASTLE。               Consult your glass�察�my dear�察�and then see if�察�

with   such   a   pair   of   eyes�察  �you   want   any  better   sparklers。 What   do   you 

think�察�Tony�察�my dear�拭�does your cousin Con。 want any jewels in your eyes 

to set off her beauty�拭�

     TONY。      That's as thereafter may be。
