no small advantage to a girl who brings her face to market。 Then I shall
perhaps make an acquaintance�察�and that's no small victory gained over one
who never addresses any but the wildest of her sex。 But my chief aim is�察�
to take my gentleman off his guard�察 �and�察 �like an invisible champion of
romance�察�examine the giant's force before I offer to combat。
MAID。 But you are sure you can act your part�察 �and disguise your
voice so that he may mistake that�察�as he has already mistaken your person�拭�
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Never fear me。 I think I have got the true
bar cantDid your honour call��Attend the Lion therePipes and tobacco
for the Angel。The Lamb has been outrageous this half´hour。
MAID。 It will do�察�madam。 But he's here。 ��Exit MAID。�А�
Enter MARLOW。
MARLOW。 What a bawling in every part of the house� �I have
scarce a moment's repose。 If I go to the best room�察�there I find my host
and his story�此 �if I fly to the gallery�察 �there we have my hostess with her
curtsey down to the ground。 I have at last got a moment to myself�察�and
now for recollection。 ��Walks and muses。�А�
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Did you call�察�sir�拭 �Did your honour call�拭�
MARLOW。 ��Musing。�� As for Miss Hardcastle�察�she's too grave and
sentimental for me。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Did your honour call�拭 。�She still places
herself before him�察�he turning away。��
MARLOW。 No�察�child。 ��Musing。�� Besides�察�from the glimpse I had
of her�察�I think she squints。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I'm sure�察�sir�察�I heard the bell ring。
MARLOW。 No�察�no。 ��Musing。�� I have pleased my father�察�however�察�
by coming down�察�and I'll to´morrow please myself by returning。 ��Taking
out his tablets�察�and perusing。�А�

MISS HARDCASTLE。 Perhaps the other gentleman called�察�sir�拭�
MARLOW。 I tell you�察�no。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I should be glad to know�察 �sir。 We have
such a parcel of servants� �
MARLOW。 No�察�no�察�I tell you。 ��Looks full in her face。�� Yes�察�child�察�
I think I did call。 I wantedI wantedI vow�察 �child�察 �you are vastly
handsome。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 O la�察�sir�察�you'll make one ashamed。
MARLOW。 Never saw a more sprightly malicious eye。 Yes�察 �yes�察�
my dear�察�I did call。 Have you got any of yourawhat d'ye call it in the
house�拭�
MISS HARDCASTLE。 No�察 �sir�察 �we have been out of that these ten
days。
MARLOW。 One may call in this house�察�I find�察�to very little purpose。
Suppose I should call for a taste�察�just by way of a trial�察�of the nectar of
your lips�察�perhaps I might be disappointed in that too。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Nectar� �nectar� �That's a liquor there's no
call for in these parts。 French�察�I suppose。 We sell no French wines here�察�
sir。
MARLOW。 Of true English growth�察�I assure you。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Then it's odd I should not know it。 We
brew all sorts of wines in this house�察�and I have lived here these eighteen
years。
MARLOW。 Eighteen years� �Why�察�one would think�察�child�察�you kept
the bar before you were born。 How old are you�拭�
MISS HARDCASTLE。 O� �sir�察 �I must not tell my age。 They say
women and music should never be dated。
MARLOW。 To guess at this distance�察�you can't be much above forty
��approaching��。 Yet�察 �nearer�察 �I don't think so much ��approaching��。 By
coming close to some women they look younger still�察�but when we come
very close indeed��attempting to kiss her��。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Pray�察 �sir�察 �keep your distance。 One would
think you wanted to know one's age�察�as they do horses�察�by mark of mouth。
MARLOW。 I protest�察�child�察�you use me extremely ill。 If you keep

me at this distance�察�how is it possible you and I can ever be acquainted�拭�
MISS HARDCASTLE。 And who wants to be acquainted with you�拭�
I want no such acquaintance�察 �not I。 I'm sure you did not treat Miss
Hardcastle�察 �that was here awhile ago�察 �in this obstropalous manner。 I'll
warrant me�察�before her you looked dashed�察�and kept bowing to the ground�察�
and talked�察�for all the world�察�as if you was before a justice of peace。
MARLOW。 ��Aside。�� Egad�察�she has hit it�察�sure enough� 。�To her。��
In awe of her�察�child�拭 �Ha� �ha� �ha� �A mere awkward squinting thing�察�no�察�
no。 I find you don't know me。 I laughed and rallied her a little�察�but I
was unwilling to be too severe。 No�察�I could not be too severe�察�curse me� �
MISS HARDCASTLE。 O� �then�察 �sir�察 �you are a favourite�察 �I find�察�
among the ladies�拭�
MARLOW。 Yes�察 �my dear�察 �a great favourite。 And yet hang me�察 �I
don't see what they find in me to follow。 At the Ladies' Club in town I'm
called their agreeable Rattle。 Rattle�察�child�察�is not my real name�察�but one
I'm known by。 My name is Solomons�察�Mr。 Solomons�察�my dear�察�at your
service。 ��Offering to salute her。��
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Hold�察 �sir�察 �you are introducing me to your
club�察�not to yourself。 And you're so great a favourite there�察�you say�拭�
MARLOW。 Yes�察 �my dear。 There's Mrs。 Mantrap�察 �Lady Betty
Blackleg�察 �the Countess of Sligo�察 �Mrs。 Langhorns�察 �old Miss Biddy
Buckskin�察�and your humble servant�察�keep up the spirit of the place。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Then it's a very merry place�察�I suppose�拭�
MARLOW。 Yes�察�as merry as cards�察�supper�察�wine�察�and old women can
make us。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 And their agreeable Rattle�察�ha� �ha� �ha� �
MARLOW。 ��Aside。�� Egad� �I don't quite like this chit。 She looks
knowing�察�methinks。 You laugh�察�child�拭�
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I can't but laugh�察�to think what time they all
have for minding their work or their family。
MARLOW。 ��Aside。�� All's well�察 �she don't laugh at me。 ��To her。��
Do you ever work�察�child�拭�
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Ay�察�sure。 There's not a screen or quilt in the
whole house but what can bear witness to that。 MARLOW。 Odso� �then

you must show me your embroidery。 I embroider and draw patterns
myself a little。 If you want a judge of your work�察�you must apply to me。
��Seizing her hand。��
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Ay�察 �but the colours do not look well by
candlelight。 You shall see all in the morning。 ��Struggling。��
MARLOW。 And why not now�察 �my angel�拭 �Such beauty fires
beyond the power of resistance。Pshaw� �the father here� �My old luck�此�I
never nicked seven that I did not throw ames ace three times following。
��Exit MARLOW。�А�
Enter HARDCASTLE�察�who stands in surprise。
HARDCASTLE。 So�察�madam。 So�察�I find THIS is your MODEST
lover。 This is your humble admirer�察 �that kept his eyes fixed on the
ground�察 �and only adored at humble dist
