father's old friend for an innkeeper�        �What a swaggering puppy must he 

take me for�     �What a silly puppy do I find myself�           �There again�察�may I 

be hanged�察�my dear�察�but I mistook you for the bar´maid。 

    MISS HARDCASTLE。              Dear me� �dear me�        �I'm sure there's nothing 

in my BEHAVIOUR to put me on a level with one of that stamp。

     MARLOW。          Nothing�察  �my   dear�察  �nothing。      But   I   was   in   for   a   list   of 

blunders�察�and could not help making you a subscriber。                  My stupidity saw 

everything the   wrong   way。        I   mistook your   assiduity  for   assurance�察 �and 

your   simplicity   for   allurement。      But   it's   over。   This   house   I   no   more 

show MY face in。 

     MISS HARDCASTLE。                I hope�察�sir�察�I have done nothing to disoblige 

you。     I'm sure I should be sorry to affront any gentleman who has been so 

polite�察�and said so   many  civil things   to me。          I'm  sure  I should   be  sorry 

��pretending   to   cry��   if   he   left   the   family   upon   my   account。  I'm   sure   I 

should be sorry if people said anything amiss�察�since I have no fortune but 

my character。 

     MARLOW。           ��Aside。��     By     Heaven�     �she   weeps。    This     is  the  first 

mark of tenderness I ever had from a modest woman�察�and it touches me。 

��To her。��     Excuse me�察�my lovely girl�察�you are the only part of the family I 

leave   with   reluctance。     But   to   be   plain   with   you�察  �the   difference   of   our 

birth�察�fortune�察�and education�察�makes an honourable connexion impossible�察�

and I can never harbour a thought of seducing simplicity that trusted in my 

honour�察�of bringing ruin upon one whose only fault was being too lovely。 

     MISS   HARDCASTLE。               ��Aside。��     Generous   man�       �I   now   begin   to 

admire   him。      ��To   him。��    But   I   am   sure   my   family   is   as   good   as   Miss 

Hardcastle's�察�and though I'm poor�察�that's no great misfortune to a contented 

mind�察  �and�察  �until   this   moment�察  �I   never   thought   that   it   was   bad   to   want 

fortune。 

     MARLOW。          And why now�察�my pretty simplicity�拭�

     MISS   HARDCASTLE。               Because   it   puts   me   at   a   distance   from   one 

that�察�if I had a thousand pounds�察�I would give it all to。 

     MARLOW。          ��Aside。��      This simplicity bewitches me�察�so that if I stay�察�

I'm   undone。      I  must    make    one   bold   effort�察  �and   leave   her。  ��To    her。�� 

Your partiality in my favour�察�my dear�察�touches me most sensibly�此�and were 

I to live for   myself alone�察�I   could easily fix my  choice。             But I owe too 

much to the opinion of the world�察�too much to the authority of a father�察�so 

thatI can scarcely speak itit affects me。          Farewell。      ��Exit。�А�

     MISS   HARDCASTLE。               I   never   knew   half   his   merit   till   now。 He 

shall not go�察�if I have power or art to detain him。                I'll still preserve the

character in which   I STOOPED TO CONQUER�察�but   will undeceive  my 

papa�察�who perhaps may laugh him out of his resolution。                ��Exit。�А�

       Enter Tony and MISS NEVILLE。 

       TONY。      Ay�察  �you   may   steal   for   yourselves   the   next   time。 I   have 

done my duty。        She has got the jewels again�察�that's a sure thing�察�but she 

believes it was all a mistake of the servants。 

     MISS NEVILLE。           But�察�my dear cousin�察�sure you won't forsake us in 

this   distress�拭  �If   she   in   the   least   suspects   that   I   am   going   off�察  �I   shall 

certainly be locked up�察�or sent to my aunt Pedigree's�察�which is ten times 

worse。 

     TONY。       To be sure�察�aunts of all kinds are damned bad things。                But 

what can I do�拭      �I have got you a pair of horses that will fly like Whistle´ 

jacket�察�and I'm sure you can't say but I have courted you nicely before her 

face。    Here   she   comes�察  �we   must   court   a   bit   or   two   more�察  �for   fear   she 

should suspect us。       ��They retire�察�and seem to fondle。�А�

       Enter MRS。 HARDCASTLE。 

       MRS。   HARDCASTLE。              Well�察  �I   was   greatly   fluttered�察  �to   be   sure。 

But my son tells me it was all a mistake of the servants。              I shan't be easy�察�

however�察�till they are fairly married�察�and then let her keep her own fortune。 

But what do I see�拭�fondling together�察�as I'm alive。              I never saw Tony so 

sprightly     before。   Ah�     �have   I  caught   you�察  �my   pretty   doves�拭    �What�察�

billing�察�exchanging stolen glances and broken murmurs�拭                �Ah� �

     TONY。      As for murmurs�察�mother�察�we grumble a little now and then�察�to 

be sure。     But there's no love lost between us。 

     MRS。   HARDCASTLE。              A   mere   sprinkling�察  �Tony�察  �upon   the   flame�察�

only to make it burn brighter。 

     MISS     NEVILLE。        Cousin     Tony   promises     to  give  us   more   of  his 

company at home。          Indeed�察�he shan't leave us any more。           It won't leave 

us�察�cousin Tony�察�will it�拭�

     TONY。      O� �it's a pretty creature。      No�察�I'd sooner leave my horse in a 

pound�察�than leave you when you smile upon one so。                   Your laugh makes 

you so becoming。 

     MISS NEVILLE。           Agreeable   cousin�       �Who   can help   admiring that 

natural humour�察�that pleasant�察�broad�察�red�察�thoughtless ��patting his cheek��

ah� �it's a bold face。 

     MRS。 HARDCASTLE。               Pretty innocence� �

     TONY。      I'm   sure   I   always   loved   cousin   Con。's   hazle   eyes�察  �and   her 

pretty long fingers�察�that she twists this way and that over the haspicholls�察�

like a parcel of bobbins。 

     MRS。 HARDCASTLE。               Ah� �he would charm the bird from the tree。 

I   was   never   so   happy   before。  My   boy   takes   after   his   father�察  �poor   Mr。 

Lumpkin�察      �exactly。      The     jewels�察   �my    dear    Con。�察   �shall   be   yours 

incontinently。      You   shall   have   them。    Isn't   he   a   sweet   boy�察  �my   dear�拭�

You shall be married to´morrow�察�and we'll put off the rest of his education�察�

like Dr。 Drowsy's sermons�察�to a fitter opportunity。 

       Enter DIGGORY。 

       DIGGORY。        Where's      the  'squire�拭   �I  have    got  a  letter  for  your 

worship。 

     TONY。      Give it to my mamma。          She reads all my letters first。 

     DIGGORY。         I had orders to deliver it into your own hands。 

     TONY。      Who does it come from�拭�

     DIGGORY。        Your worship mun ask that o' the letter itself。 

     TONY。      I could wish to know though ��turning the letter�察�and gazing 

on it��。 

     MISS NEVILLE。           ��Aside。��     Undone� �undone�         �A letter to him from 

Hastings。     I know the hand。        If my aunt sees it�察�we are ruined for ever。 

I'll keep her employed a little if I can。       ��To MRS。 HARDCASTLE。��                 But 

I have not told you�察�madam�察�of my cousin's smart answer just now to Mr。 

Marlow。      We so laughed。You must know�察�madam。This way a little�察�for 

he must not hear us。       ��They confer。�А�

     TONY。      ��Still   gazing。��    A  damned   cramp   piece   of   penmanship�察  �as 

ever I saw in my life。       I can read your print hand very well。         But here are 

such   handles�察  �and   shanks�察  �and   dashes�察  �that   one   can   scarce   tell   the   head 

from the tail。;To Anthony Lumpkin�察�Esquire。;               It's very odd�察�I can read 

the outside of my letters�察�where my own
