to take up my
_Petticoats_; and I seeming a little coy, putting of 'em down, he grew more
eager; and was for a little diversion upon the Tavern Chairs; and whilst he
was eager in finishing what he was about, I began to dive into his Fob,
which I found well furnished with Guineas, besides a Gold-Watch, which I
took out, and look'd upon it, and put it up into his Pocket again very
carefully; and this I so often repeated, telling him I was a Person of
Quality, and that what I did, with respect to the Liberty I allow'd him,
was only for the Gratification of my Youthful Fancy, and as for any thing
of filthy Lucre, or bring a mercenary Creature, I did both scorn it, and
was much above it: All this by the Richness of my Garb, he was apt enough
to believe; and therefore was the less upon his Guard; but I beginning now
to be reduc'd, (not having my Husband's Bag's to go to, as I us'd to have)
thought he ought also to pay for the Pleasure he receiv'd from me, as well
as I formerly us'd to pay my Gallant for the Pleasure I receiv'd from him;
and therefore taking Twenty Guineas out of his Pockets, and telling them
before his Face, I pretended to put them all in again; but had cunningly
convey'd them into my own Pocket, and told twenty mill'd Shillings into
his; and also taking out his Watch again, as I had done several times
before, I convey'd the Watch into my own Pocket, and the Case only into
his: As we were just a parting, that I might come off with more Credit, I
bid him feel in's Pocket, and see he had his Watch and all his Guineas; and
clapping of his hand upon his Thigh, and feeling the Case, he said he had:
I further ask'd him if he had all his Guineas, and bid him tell 'em; and he
putting his hand in's Fob he told twenty, (which he took for Guineas, his
Silver being in another Fob) and told me I was very honest, he was sure
he'd all; and then desir'd to know my Name and where my Lodgings were; that
he might wait upon me some other time, and have the like enjoyment; which I
seem'd to desire as much as he, greatly commending his performances (tho'
to speak Truth, his Will was better far than his Ability, and his Gold
Watch and Guineas much exceeded either, for he was one of them which we
call Antiquated Whoremasters) and so to satisfie him, I gave him such
Directions as sent him to the other End o'th' Town, to seek a Needle in a
Bottle of Hay.

_Thus the Rich Cuff of's Gold and Watch was Chous'd:_
