all in a flutter。 Young�察 �handsome�此 �these he put last�察 �but I put them
foremost。 Sensible�察�good´natured�察�I like all that。 But then reserved and
sheepish�察�that's much against him。 Yet can't he be cured of his timidity�察�
by being taught to be proud of his wife�拭 �Yes�察�and can't IBut I vow I'm
disposing of the husband before I have secured the lover。
Enter MISS NEVILLE。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 I'm glad you're come�察 �Neville�察 �my dear。
Tell me�察 �Constance�察 �how do I look this evening�拭 �Is there anything
whimsical about me�拭 �Is it one of my well´looking days�察�child�拭 �Am I in
face to´day�拭�
MISS NEVILLE。 Perfectly�察 �my dear。 Yet now I look againbless
me��sure no accident has happened among the canary birds or the gold
fishes。 Has your brother or the cat been meddling�拭�or has the last novel
been too moving�拭�
MISS HARDCASTLE。 No�察 �nothing of all this。 I have been
threatenedI can scarce get it outI have been threatened with a lover。
MISS NEVILLE。 And his name
MISS HARDCASTLE。 Is Marlow。
MISS NEVILLE。 Indeed� �
MISS HARDCASTLE。 The son of Sir Charles Marlow。
MISS NEVILLE。 As I live�察�the most intimate friend of Mr。 Hastings�察�
my admirer。 They are never asunder。 I believe you must have seen him
when we lived in town。

MISS HARDCASTLE。 Never。
MISS NEVILLE。 He's a very singular character�察 �I assure you。
Among women of reputation and virtue he is the modestest man alive�察�but
his acquaintance give him a very different character among creatures of
another stamp�此�you understand me。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 An odd character indeed。 I shall never be
able to manage him。 What shall I do�拭 �Pshaw�察�think no more of him�察�but
trust to occurrences for success。 But how goes on your own affair�察 �my
dear�拭�has my mother been courting you for my brother Tony as usual�拭�
MISS NEVILLE。 I have just come from one of our agreeable tete´a´
tetes。 She has been saying a hundred tender things�察 �and setting off her
pretty monster as the very pink of perfection。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 And her partiality is such�察�that she actually
thinks him so。 A fortune like yours is no small temptation。 Besides�察�as
she has the sole management of it�察�I'm not surprised to see her unwilling to
let it go out of the family。
MISS NEVILLE。 A fortune like mine�察 �which chiefly consists in
jewels�察 �is no such mighty temptation。 But at any rate�察 �if my dear
Hastings be but constant�察�I make no doubt to be too hard for her at last。
However�察�I let her suppose that I am in love with her son�察�and she never
once dreams that my affections are fixed upon another。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 My good brother holds out stoutly。 I could
almost love him for hating you so。
MISS NEVILLE。 It is a good´natured creature at bottom�察 �and I'm
sure would wish to see me married to anybody but himself。 But my
aunt's bell rings for our afternoon's walk round the improvements。
Allons� �Courage is necessary�察�as our affairs are critical。
MISS HARDCASTLE。 ;Would it were bed´time�察�and all were well。;

SCENEAn Alehouse Room。 Several shabby Fellows with punch
and tobacco。 TONY at the head of the table�察�a little higher than the rest�察�

is going to knock himself down for a song。
OMNES。 Ay�察�a song�察�a song� �
TONY。 Then I'll sing you�察 �gentlemen�察 �a song I made upon this
alehouse�察�the Three Pigeons。
SONG。
Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain With grammar�察 �and
nonsense�察 �and learning�察 �Good liquor�察 �I stoutly maintain�察 �Gives
GENUS a better discerning。 Let them brag of their heathenish gods�察�
Their Lethes�察�their Styxes�察�and Stygians�察�Their Quis�察�and their Quaes�察�and
their Quods�察 �They're all but a parcel of Pigeons。
Toroddle�察�toroddle�察�toroll。
When methodist preachers come down�察 �A´preaching that
drinking is sinful�察 �I'll wager the rascals a crown�察 �They always
preach best with a skinful。 But when you come down with your pence�察�
For a slice of their scurvy religion�察 �I'll leave it to all men of sense�察�
But you�察�my good friend�察�are the Pigeon。 Toroddle�察�toroddle�察�
toroll。
Then come�察�put the jorum about�察 �And let us be merry and clever�察�
Our hearts and our liquors are stout�察 �Here's the Three Jolly Pigeons
for ever。 Let some cry up woodcock or hare�察 �Your bustards�察 �your
ducks�察 �and your widgeons�察 �But of all the GAY birds in the air�察�
Here's a health to the Three Jolly Pigeons。 Toroddle�察�toroddle�察�

OMNES。 Bravo�察�bravo� �
FIRST FELLOW。 The 'squire has got spunk in him。
SECOND FELLOW。 I loves to hear him sing�察 �bekeays he never
gives us nothing that's low。
THIRD FELLOW。 O damn anything that's low�察�I cannot bear it。
FOURTH FELLOW。 The genteel thing is the genteel thing any time�此�
if so be that a gentleman bees in a concatenation accordingly。
THIRD FELLOW。 I likes the maxum of it�察�Master Muggins。 What�察�
though I am obligated to dance a bear�察�a man may be a gentleman for all
that。 May this be my poison�察 �if my bear ever dances but to the very
genteelest of tunes�察 �Water Parted�察─�or ;The minuet in Ariadne。;

SECOND FELLOW。 What a pity it is the 'squire is not come to his
own。 It would be well for all the publicans within ten miles round of
him。
TONY。 Ecod�察�and so it would�察�Master Slang。 I'd then show what it
was to keep choice of company。
SECOND FELLOW。 O he takes after his own father for that。 To be
sure old 'Squire Lumpkin was the finest gentleman I ever set my eyes on。
For winding the straight horn�察�or beating a thicket for a hare�察�or a wench�察�
he never had his fellow。 It was a saying in the place�察�that he kept the best
horses�察�dogs�察�and girls�察�in the whole county。
TONY。 Ecod�察�and when I'm of age�察�I'll be no bastard�察�I promise you。
I have been thinking of Bet Bouncer and the miller's grey mare to begin
with。 But come�察 �my boys�察 �drink about and be merry�察 �for you pay no
reckoning。 Well�察�Stingo�察�what's the matter�拭�
Enter Landlord。
LANDLORD。 There be two gentlemen in a post´chaise at the door。
They have lost their way upo' the forest�察�and they are talking something
about Mr。 Hardcastle。
TONY。 As sure as can be�察�one of them must be the gentleman that's
