lover。    This   is  your  humble     admirer�察  �that  kept  his  eyes   fixed  on  the 

ground�察  �and   only   adored   at   humble   distance。   Kate�察  �Kate�察  �art   thou   not 

ashamed to deceive your father so�拭�

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               Never trust me�察�dear papa�察�but he's still the 

modest man I first took him for�察�you'll be convinced of it as well as I。 

    HARDCASTLE。            By the hand of my body�察�I believe his impudence is 

infectious�    �Didn't I see him seize your hand�拭        �Didn't I see him haul you 

about like a milkmaid�拭       �And now you talk of his respect and his modesty�察�

forsooth� �

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               But if I shortly convince you of his modesty�察�

that he has only the faults that will pass off with time�察�and the virtues that 

will improve with age�察�I hope you'll forgive him。 

    HARDCASTLE。            The girl would actually make one run mad�             �I tell 

you�察  �I'll   not   be   convinced。 I   am  convinced。   He   has   scarce been   three 

hours in the house�察�and he has already encroached on all my prerogatives。 

You   may   like   his   impudence�察  �and   call   it   modesty�察  �but   my   son´in´law�察�

madam�察�must have very different qualifications。 

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               Sir�察�I ask but this night to convince you。 

    HARDCASTLE。             You    shall   not  have   half   the  time�察  �for  I  have 

thoughts of turning him out this very hour。 

    MISS HARDCASTLE。               Give me that hour then�察�and I hope to satisfy 

you。 

    HARDCASTLE。            Well�察   �an  hour   let  it  be  then。  But   I'll  have  no

    MISS     HARDCASTLE。         I  hope�察 �sir�察 �you  have  ever  found   that  I 

considered your commands as my pride�察�for your kindness is such�察�that my 

duty as yet has been inclination。   ��Exeunt。�А�

                    ACT THE FOURTH。 



       Enter HASTINGS and MISS NEVILLE。 

       HASTINGS。       You   surprise   me�察  �Sir   Charles   Marlow   expected   here 

this night�   �Where have you had your information�拭�

    MISS NEVILLE。          You may depend upon it。         I just saw his letter to 

Mr。 Hardcastle�察�in which he tells him he intends setting out a few hours 

after his son。 

    HASTINGS。         Then�察�my Constance�察�all must be completed before he 

arrives。   He knows me�察�and should he find me here�察�would discover my 

name�察�and perhaps my designs�察�to the rest of the family。 

    MISS NEVILLE。          The jewels�察�I hope�察�are safe�拭�

    HASTINGS。         Yes�察 �yes�察�I   have sent them to   Marlow�察�who keeps   the 

keys of our baggage。       In the mean time�察�I'll go to prepare matters for our 

elopement。     I have had the 'squire's promise of a fresh pair of horses�察�and 

if I should not see him again�察�will write him further directions。         ��Exit。�А�

    MISS   NEVILLE。         Well�   �success   attend   you。  In   the   mean   time   I'll 

go and amuse my aunt with the old pretence of a violent passion for my 

cousin。    ��Exit。�А�

       Enter MARLOW�察�followed by a Servant。 

       MARLOW。        I wonder what Hastings could mean by sending me so 

valuable a thing as a casket to keep for him�察�when he knows the only place 

I have is the seat of a post´coach at an inn´door。        Have you deposited the 

casket with the landlady�察�as I ordered you�拭        �Have you put it into her own 

hands�拭�

    SERVANT。        Yes�察�your honour。 

    MARLOW。         She said she'd keep it safe�察�did she�拭�

    SERVANT。         Yes�察  �she   said   she'd   keep   it   safe   enough�察  �she   asked   me 

how I came by it�察�and she said she had a great mind to make me give an 

account of myself。      ��Exit Servant。�А�

    MARLOW。           Ha�    �ha�   �ha�    �They're    safe�察  �however。     What     an 

unaccountable set of beings have we got amongst�              �This little bar´maid 

though runs in my head most strangely�察�and drives out the absurdities of 

all the rest of the family。     She's   mine�察�she must be mine�察�or I'm greatly

mistaken。 

       Enter HASTINGS。 

       HASTINGS。        Bless me�     �I quite forgot to tell her that I intended to 

prepare at the bottom of the garden。        Marlow here�察�and in spirits too� �

    MARLOW。          Give    me   joy�察 �George�    �Crown      me�察 �shadow     me   with 

laurels�    �Well�察�George�察�after all�察�we modest fellows don't want for success 

among the women。 

    HASTINGS。         Some women�察�you mean。            But what success has your 

honour's modesty been crowned with now�察�that it grows so insolent upon 

us�拭�

    MARLOW。          Didn't   you   see   the   tempting�察  �brisk�察  �lovely   little   thing�察�

that runs about the house with a bunch of keys to its girdle�拭�

    HASTINGS。         Well�察�and what then�拭�

    MARLOW。          She's   mine�察  �you   rogue   you。   Such   fire�察  �such   motion�察�

such eyes�察�such lips�察�but�察�egad� �she would not let me kiss them though。 

    HASTINGS。         But are you so sure�察�so very sure of her�拭�

    MARLOW。          Why�察  �man�察  �she   talked   of   showing   me   her   work   above 

stairs�察�and I am to improve the pattern。 

    HASTINGS。         But how can you�察�Charles�察�go about to rob a woman of 

her honour�拭�

    MARLOW。          Pshaw�   �pshaw�       �We   all   know   the   honour   of   the   bar´ 

maid   of   an   inn。 I   don't   intend   to   rob   her�察  �take   my   word   for   it�察  �there's 

nothing in this house I shan't honestly pay for。 

    HASTINGS。         I believe the girl has virtue。 

    MARLOW。          And if she has�察�I should be the last man in the world that 

would attempt to corrupt it。 

    HASTINGS。         You have taken care�察�I hope�察�of the casket I sent you to 

lock up�拭    �Is it in safety�拭�

    MARLOW。          Yes�察  �yes。   It's   safe   enough。  I   have   taken   care   of   it。 

But how could you think the seat of a post´coach at an inn´door a place of 

safety�拭   �Ah� �numskull�       �I have taken better precautions for you than you 

did for yourselfI have 

    HASTINGS。         What�拭�

    MARLOW。          I have sent it to the landlady to keep for you。

    HASTINGS。         To the landlady� �

    MARLOW。          The landlady。 

    HASTINGS。         You did�拭�

    MARLOW。          I did。   She's to be answerable for its forthcoming�察�you 

know。 

    HASTINGS。         Yes�察�she'll bring it forth with a witness。 

    MARLOW。          Wasn't    I  right�拭  �I  believe   you'll  allow   that  I  acted 

prudently upon this occasion。 

    HASTINGS。         ��Aside。��    He must not see my uneasiness。 

    MARLOW。          You seem a little disconcerted though�察�methinks。            Sure 

nothing has happened�拭�

    HASTINGS。         No�察�nothing。     Never was in better spirits in all my life。 

And so you left it with the landlady�察�who�察�no doubt�察�very readily undertook 

the charge。 

    MARLOW。          Rather   too   readily。  For   she   not   only   kept   the   casket�察�

but�察�through   her great precaution�察 �was   going to keep the   messenger   too。 

Ha� �ha� �ha� �

    HASTINGS。         He� �he� �he�     �They're safe�察�however。 

    MARLOW。          As a guinea in a miser's purse。 

    HASTINGS。         ��Aside。��    So   now   all   hopes   of   fortune   are   at   an   end�察�

and we must set off without it。        ��To him。��     Well�察�Charles�察�I'll leave you 

to your meditations on the pretty bar´maid�察�and�察�he� �he� �he� �may
