your places�察 �and can show that you have been used to good company�察�
without ever stirring from home。
OMNES。 Ay�察�ay。
HARDCASTLE。 When company comes you are not to pop out and
stare�察�and then run in again�察�like frightened rabbits in a warren。
OMNES。 No�察�no。
HARDCASTLE。 You�察 �Diggory�察 �whom I have taken from the barn�察�
are to make a show at the side´table�察 �and you�察 �Roger�察 �whom I have
advanced from the plough�察 �are to place yourself behind my chair。 But
you're not to stand so�察�with your hands in your pockets。 Take your hands
from your pockets�察�Roger�察�and from your head�察�you blockhead you。 See
how Diggory carries his hands。 They're a little too stiff�察�indeed�察�but that's
no great matter。
DIGGORY。 Ay�察�mind how I hold them。 I learned to hold my hands
this way when I was upon drill for the militia。 And so being upon drill´
´
HARDCASTLE。 You must not be so talkative�察�Diggory。 You must
be all attention to the guests。 You must hear us talk�察 �and not think of
talking�察�you must see us drink�察�and not think of drinking�察�you must see us
eat�察�and not think of eating。
DIGGORY。 By the laws�察 �your worship�察 �that's parfectly unpossible。
Whenever Diggory sees yeating going forward�察�ecod�察�he's always wishing
for a mouthful himself。
HARDCASTLE。 Blockhead� �Is not a belly´full in the kitchen as
good as a belly´full in the parlour�拭 �Stay your stomach with that
reflection。
DIGGORY。 Ecod�察�I thank your worship�察�I'll make a shift to stay my
stomach with a slice of cold beef in the pantry。

HARDCASTLE。 Diggory�察 �you are too talkative。Then�察�if I happen
to say a good thing�察�or tell a good story at table�察�you must not all burst out
a´laughing�察�as if you made part of the company。
DIGGORY。 Then ecod your worship must not tell the story of Ould
Grouse in the gun´room�此�I can't help laughing at thathe� �he� �he��for the
soul of me。 We have laughed at that these twenty yearsha� �ha� �ha� �
HARDCASTLE。 Ha� �ha� �ha� �The story is a good one。 Well�察�
honest Diggory�察�you may laugh at thatbut still remember to be attentive。
Suppose one of the company should call for a glass of wine�察�how will you
behave�拭 �A glass of wine�察 �sir�察 �if you please ��to DIGGORY��。Eh�察 �why
don't you move�拭�
DIGGORY。 Ecod�察�your worship�察�I never have courage till I see the
eatables and drinkables brought upo' the table�察�and then I'm as bauld as a
lion。
HARDCASTLE。 What�察�will nobody move�拭�
FIRST SERVANT。 I'm not to leave this pleace。
SECOND SERVANT。 I'm sure it's no pleace of mine。
THIRD SERVANT。 Nor mine�察�for sartain。
DIGGORY。 Wauns�察�and I'm sure it canna be mine。
HARDCASTLE。 You numskulls� �and so while�察�like your betters�察�you
are quarrelling for places�察�the guests must be starved。 O you dunces� �I
find I must begin all over againBut don't I hear a coach drive into the
yard�拭 �To your posts�察�you blockheads。 I'll go in the mean time and give
my old friend's son a hearty reception at the gate。 ��Exit
HARDCASTLE。�А�
DIGGORY。 By the elevens�察�my pleace is gone quite out of my head。
ROGER。 I know that my pleace is to be everywhere。
FIRST SERVANT。 Where the devil is mine�拭�
SECOND SERVANT。 My pleace is to be nowhere at all�察�and so I'ze
go about my business。 ��Exeunt Servants�察�running about as if frightened�察�
different ways。�А�
Enter Servant with candles�察�showing in MARLOW and HASTINGS。
SERVANT。 Welcome�察�gentlemen�察�very welcome� �This way。
HASTINGS。 After the disappointments of the day�察 �welcome once

more�察�Charles�察�to the comforts of a clean room and a good fire。 Upon my
word�察�a very well´looking house�察�antique but creditable。
MARLOW。 The usual fate of a large mansion。 Having first ruined
the master by good housekeeping�察�it at last comes to levy contributions as
an inn。
HASTINGS。 As you say�察 �we passengers are to be taxed to pay all
these fineries。 I have often seen a good sideboard�察�or a marble chimney´
piece�察 �though not actually put in the bill�察 �inflame a reckoning
confoundedly。
MARLOW。 Travellers�察 �George�察 �must pay in all places�此 �the only
difference is�察�that in good inns you pay dearly for luxuries�察�in bad inns you
are fleeced and starved。
HASTINGS。 You have lived very much among them。 In truth�察 �I
have been often surprised�察�that you who have seen so much of the world�察�
with your natural good sense�察�and your many opportunities�察�could never
yet acquire a requisite share of assurance。
MARLOW。 The Englishman's malady。 But tell me�察�George�察�where
could I have learned that assurance you talk of�拭 �My life has been chiefly
spent in a college or an inn�察 �in seclusion from that lovely part of the
creation that chiefly teach men confidence。 I don't know that I was ever
familiarly acquainted with a single modest womanexcept my mother
But among females of another class�察�you know
HASTINGS。 Ay�察 �among them you are impudent enough of all
conscience。
MARLOW。 They are of US�察�you know。
HASTINGS。 But in the company of women of reputation I never
saw such an idiot�察 �such a trembler�察 �you look for all the world as if you
wanted an opportunity of stealing out of the room。 MARLOW。 Why�察�
man�察�that's because I do want to steal out of the room。 Faith�察�I have often
formed a resolution to break the ice�察�and rattle away at any rate。 But I
don't know how�察�a single glance from a pair of fine eyes has totally overset
my resolution。 An impudent fellow may counterfeit modesty�察�but I'll be
hanged if a modest man can ever counterfeit impudence。
HASTINGS。 If you could but say half the fine things to them that I

have heard you lavish upon the bar´maid of an inn�察�or even a college bed´
maker
MARLOW。 Why�察�George�察�I can't say fine things to them�察�they freeze�察�
they petrify me。 They may talk of a comet�察 �or a burning mountain�察 �or
some such bagatelle�察 �but�察 �to me�察 �a modest woman�察 �drest out in all her
finery�察�is the most tremendous object of the whole creation。
HASTINGS。 Ha� �ha� �ha� �At this rate�察 �man�察 �how can you ever
expect to marry�拭�
MARLOW。 Never�察 �unless�察 �as among kings and princes�察 �my bride
were to be courted by proxy。 If�察�indeed�察�like an Eastern bridegroom�察�one
were to be introduced to a wife he never saw before�察�it might be endured。
But to go through all the terrors of a formal courtship�察�together with the
episode of aunts�察 �grandmothers�察 �and cousins�察 �and at last to blurt out the
broad staring question of�察�Madam�察�will you marry me
