about Mr。 Hardcastle。 

    TONY。       As sure as can be�察�one of them must be the gentleman that's 

coming down to court my sister。         Do they seem to be Londoners�拭�

    LANDLORD。            I   believe   they   may。     They    look    woundily     like 

Frenchmen。 

    TONY。       Then desire them to step this way�察�and I'll set them right in a 

twinkling。 ��Exit Landlord。��        Gentlemen�察�as they mayn't be good enough 

company   for   you�察  �step   down   for   a   moment�察  �and   I'll   be   with   you   in   the 

squeezing of a lemon。       ��Exeunt mob。�А�

    TONY。       ��solus��。     Father´in´law     has   been   calling   me   whelp    and 

hound this half year。      Now�察�if I pleased�察�I could be so revenged upon the 

old grumbletonian。       But then I'm afraidafraid of what�拭        �I shall soon be 

worth fifteen hundred a year�察�and let him frighten me out of THAT if he 

can。 

       Enter Landlord�察�conducting MARLOW and HASTINGS。 

       MARLOW。         What a tedious uncomfortable day have we had of it� �

We were told it was but forty miles across the country�察�and we have come

above threescore。 

    HASTINGS。          And   all�察  �Marlow�察  �from   that   unaccountable   reserve   of 

yours�察�that would not let us inquire more frequently on the way。 

    MARLOW。          I own�察�Hastings�察�I am unwilling to lay myself under an 

obligation     to  every   one   I  meet�察  �and   often   stand   the  chance    of   an 

unmannerly answer。 

    HASTINGS。          At   present�察�however�察 �we are   not likely  to receive   any 

answer。 

     TONY。       No    offence�察  �gentlemen。      But    I'm   told  you   have    been 

inquiring for one Mr。 Hardcastle in these parts。           Do you know what part 

of the country you are in�拭�

    HASTINGS。           Not    in  the   least�察 �sir�察 �but  should    thank    you   for 

information。 

     TONY。      Nor the way you came�拭�

    HASTINGS。          No�察�sir�此�but if you can inform us 

     TONY。      Why�察�gentlemen�察�if you know neither the road you are going�察�

nor where you are�察�nor the road you came�察�the first thing I have to inform 

you is�察�thatyou have lost your way。 

    MARLOW。          We wanted no ghost to tell us that。 

     TONY。      Pray�察�gentlemen�察�may I be so bold so as to ask the place from 

whence you came�拭�

    MARLOW。          That's not necessary towards directing us where we are 

to go。 

     TONY。      No offence�察�but question   for question is   all fair�察�you   know。 

Pray�察�gentlemen�察�is not this same Hardcastle a cross´grained�察�old´fashioned�察�

whimsical fellow�察�with an ugly face�察�a daughter�察�and a pretty son�拭�

    HASTINGS。          We have not seen the gentleman�察�but he has the family 

you mention。 

     TONY。      The daughter�察�a tall�察�trapesing�察�trolloping�察�talkative maypole�察�

the son�察�a pretty�察�well´bred�察�agreeable youth�察�that everybody is fond of。 

    MARLOW。          Our information differs in this。       The daughter is said to 

be   well´bred   and   beautiful�察  �the   son   an   awkward   booby�察  �reared   up   and 

spoiled at his mother's apron´string。

you won't reach Mr。 Hardcastle's house this night�察�I believe。 

    HASTINGS。         Unfortunate� �

    TONY。       It's   a  damn'd    long�察  �dark�察 �boggy�察   �dirty�察 �dangerous     way。 

Stingo�察�tell   the gentlemen   the   way  to   Mr。  Hardcastle's�    。�Winking   upon 

the Landlord。��     Mr。 Hardcastle's�察�of Quagmire Marsh�察�you understand me。 

    LANDLORD。            Master     Hardcastle's�     �Lock´a´daisy�察     �my   masters�察�

you're come a deadly deal wrong�           �When you came to the bottom of the 

hill�察�you should have crossed down Squash Lane。 

    MARLOW。          Cross down Squash Lane� �

    LANDLORD。           Then you were to keep straight forward�察�till you came 

to four roads。 

    MARLOW。          Come to where four roads meet�拭�

    TONY。       Ay�察�but you must be sure to take only one of them。 

    MARLOW。          O�察�sir�察�you're facetious。 

    TONY。       Then   keeping   to   the   right�察  �you   are   to   go   sideways   till   you 

come upon Crackskull Common�此�there you must look sharp for the track 

of   the   wheel�察  �and   go   forward   till   you   come   to   farmer   Murrain's   barn。 

Coming to the farmer's barn�察�you are to turn to the right�察�and then to the 

left�察�and then to the right about again�察�till you find out the old mill

    HASTINGS。         What's to be done�察�Marlow�拭�

    MARLOW。           This    house   promises     but  a  poor   reception�察   �though 

perhaps the landlord can accommodate us。 

    LANDLORD。           Alack�察�master�察�we have but one spare bed in the whole 

house。 

    TONY。       And     to  my   knowledge�察    �that's  taken  up   by  three  lodgers 

already。    ��After a pause�察�in which the rest seem disconcerted。��           I have hit 

it。   Don't    you    think�察 �Stingo�察  �our   landlady    could   accommodate       the 

gentlemen by the fire´side�察�withthree chairs and a bolster�拭�

    HASTINGS。         I hate sleeping by the fire´side。 

    MARLOW。          And I detest your three chairs and a bolster。 

    TONY。       You do�察�do you�拭�then�察�let me seewhat if you go on a mile 

further�察�to the Buck's Head�察�the old Buck's Head on the hill�察�one of the best 

inns in the whole county�拭�

however。

You   have   only  to   keep on   straight   forward�察  �till   you   come   to   a   large   old 

house   by  the   road   side。  You'll   see   a   pair   of   large   horns   over   the   door。 

That's the sign。     Drive up the yard�察�and call stoutly about you。 

     HASTINGS。         Sir�察�we are obliged to you。        The servants can't miss the 

way�拭�

     TONY。      No�察�no�此�but I tell you�察�though�察�the landlord is rich�察�and going

presence�察�he� �he� �he�        �He'll be for giving you his company�察�and�察�ecod�察�if 

you mind him�察�he'll persuade you that his mother was an alderman�察�and his 

aunt a justice of peace。

good wines and beds as any in the whole country。

farther connexion。       We are to turn to the right�察�did you say�拭�
