much learning to spend fifteen hundred a year。 

    HARDCASTLE。          Learning�察�quotha� �a mere composition of tricks and 

mischief。 

    MRS。     HARDCASTLE。          Humour�察    �my   dear�察 �nothing   but  humour。 

Come�察�Mr。 Hardcastle�察�you must allow the boy a little humour。 

    HARDCASTLE。          I'd sooner allow him a horse´pond。       If burning the 

footmen's    shoes�察 �frightening   the  maids�察  �and  worrying    the  kittens  be 

humour�察�he has it。    It was but yesterday he fastened my wig to the back of 

my chair�察�and when I went to make a bow�察�I popt my bald head in Mrs。 

Frizzle's face。 

    MRS。   HARDCASTLE。           And   am   I   to   blame�拭�The   poor   boy   was 

always too sickly to do any good。       A school would be his death。      When 

he comes to be a little stronger�察�who knows what a year or two's Latin may 

do for him�拭�

    HARDCASTLE。          Latin   for  him�   �A   cat  and  fiddle。 No�察   �no�察 �the 

alehouse and the stable are the only schools he'll ever go to。 

    MRS。 HARDCASTLE。             Well�察�we must not snub the poor boy now�察�

for I believe we shan't have him long among us。         Anybody that looks in 

his face may see he's consumptive。 

    HARDCASTLE。          Ay�察�if growing too fat be one of the symptoms。 

    MRS。 HARDCASTLE。            He coughs sometimes。 

    HARDCASTLE。          Yes�察�when his liquor goes the wrong way。 

    MRS。 HARDCASTLE。            I'm actually afraid of his lungs。 

    HARDCASTLE。          And truly so am I�察�for he sometimes whoops like a 

speaking trumpet��Tony hallooing behind the scenes��O�察�there he goesa 

very consumptive figure�察�truly。 

      Enter TONY�察�crossing the stage。 

      MRS。   HARDCASTLE。          Tony�察  �where   are   you   going�察  �my   charmer�拭�

Won't you give papa and I a little of your company�察�lovee�拭�

    TONY。      I'm in haste�察�mother�察�I cannot stay。

    MRS。 HARDCASTLE。               You shan't venture out this raw evening�察�my 

dear�察�you look most shockingly。 

     TONY。      I can't stay�察�I tell you。   The Three Pigeons expects me down 

every moment。        There's some fun going forward。 

    HARDCASTLE。            Ay�察�the alehouse�察�the old place�此�I thought so。 

    MRS。 HARDCASTLE。               A low�察�paltry set of fellows。 

     TONY。      Not so low�察�neither。       There's Dick Muggins the exciseman�察�

Jack Slang   the  horse  doctor�察 �Little Aminadab that grinds the  music  box�察�

and Tom Twist that spins the pewter platter。 

    MRS。 HARDCASTLE。               Pray�察�my dear�察�disappoint them for one night 

at least。 

     TONY。      As for disappointing them�察�I should not so much mind�察�but I 

can't abide to disappoint myself。 

    MRS。 HARDCASTLE。               ��detaining him。��      You shan't go。 

     TONY。      I will�察�I tell you。 

    MRS。 HARDCASTLE。               I say you shan't。      TONY。      We'll see which 

is strongest�察�you or I。     ��Exit�察�hauling her out。�А�

    HARDCASTLE。            ��solus。��    Ay�察�there goes a pair that only spoil each 

other。    But   is   not   the   whole   age   in   a   combination   to   drive   sense   and 

discretion out of doors�拭       �There's my pretty darling Kate� �the fashions of 

the times have almost infected her too。          By living a year or two in town�察�

she is as fond of gauze and French frippery as the best of them。 

       Enter MISS HARDCASTLE。 

       HARDCASTLE。           Blessings   on   my   pretty   innocence�   �drest   out   as 

usual�察  �my   Kate。   Goodness�       �What   a   quantity   of   superfluous   silk   hast 

thou got about thee�察�girl�       �I could never teach the fools of this age�察�that 

the indigent world could be clothed out of the trimmings of the vain。 

    MISS   HARDCASTLE。              You   know   our   agreement�察  �sir。   You   allow 

me the morning to receive and pay visits�察�and to dress in my own manner�察�

and in the evening I put on my housewife's dress to please you。 

    HARDCASTLE。             Well�察   �remember�察    �I  insist  on   the  terms    of  our 

agreement�察  �and�察  �by   the   bye�察  �I   believe   I   shall   have   occasion   to   try   your

meaning。 

     HARDCASTLE。            Then to be plain with you�察�Kate�察�I expect the young 

gentleman I have chosen to be your husband from town this very day。                      I 

have his father's letter�察�in which he informs me his son is set out�察�and that 

he intends to follow himself shortly after。 

     MISS HARDCASTLE。               Indeed�     �I wish I had known something of 

this   before。   Bless   me�察  �how   shall   I   behave�拭   �It's   a   thousand   to   one   I 

shan't   like   him�察  �our   meeting   will   be   so   formal�察  �and   so   like   a   thing   of 

business�察�that I shall find no room for friendship or esteem。 

     HARDCASTLE。             Depend      upon    it�察 �child�察 �I'll  never  control   your 

choice�察�but Mr。 Marlow�察�whom I have pitched upon�察�is the son of my old 

friend�察  �Sir   Charles   Marlow�察  �of   whom   you   have   heard   me   talk   so   often。 

The   young   gentleman   has   been   bred   a   scholar�察  �and   is   designed   for   an 

employment   in   the   service   of   his   country。   I   am   told   he's   a   man   of   an 

excellent understanding。 

     MISS HARDCASTLE。               Is he�拭�

     HARDCASTLE。            Very generous。 

     MISS HARDCASTLE。               I believe I shall like him。 

     HARDCASTLE。            Young and brave。 

     MISS HARDCASTLE。               I'm sure I shall like him。 

     HARDCASTLE。            And very handsome。

hand���察�he's mine�察�I'll have him。 

     HARDCASTLE。            And�察    �to  crown    all�察 �Kate�察 �he's   one   of  the  most 

bashful and reserved young fellows in all the world。 

     MISS     HARDCASTLE。            Eh�    �you   have   frozen   me    to  death   again。 

That   word   RESERVED   has   undone   all   the   rest   of   his   accomplishments。 

A reserved lover�察�it is said�察�always makes a suspicious husband。 

     HARDCASTLE。             On    the   contrary�察  �modesty     seldom    resides   in   a 

breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues。           It was the very feature in 

his character that first struck me。 

     MISS HARDCASTLE。               He must have more striking features to catch 

me�察  �I   promise   you。   However�察  �if   he   be   so   young�察  �so   handsome�察  �and   so 

everything as you mention�察�I believe he'll do still。          I think I'll have him。

    HARDCASTLE。            Ay�察  �Kate�察�but there is still an obstacle。      It's more 

than an even wager he may not have you。 

    MISS   HARDCASTLE。             My   dear   papa�察  �why   will   you   mortify   one 

so��Well�察�if he refuses�察�instead of breaking my heart at his indifference�察�

I'll only break my glass for its flattery�察�set my cap to some newer fashion�察�

and look out for some less difficult admirer。 

    HARDCASTLE。             Bravely     resolved�     �In   the   mean    time   I'll  go 

prepare   the   servants   for   his   reception�此  �as   we   seldom   see   company�察  �they 

want   as   much   training   as   a   company   of   recruits   the   first   day's   muster。
