n! Why so they are all in town, sir. _Enter_ CLINCHER _senior_. _Clinch. sen._ Brother, you're welcome to London. _Clinch. jun._ I thought, brother, you owed so much to the memory of my father, as to wear mourning for his death. _Clinch. sen._ Why, so I do, fool; I wear this, because I have the estate; and you wear that, because you have not the estate. You have cause to mourn, indeed, brother. Well, brother, I'm glad to see you; fare you well. [_Going._ _Clinch. jun._ Stay, stay, brother.----Where are you going? _Clinch. sen._ How natural 'tis for a country booby to ask impertinent questions!--Harkye, sir; is not my father dead? _Clinch. jun._ Ay, ay, to my sorrow. _Clinch. sen._ No matter for that, he's dead; and am not I a young, powdered, extravagant English heir? _Clinch. jun._ Very right, sir. _Clinch. sen._ Why then, sir, you may be sure that I am going to the Jubilee, sir. _Clinch. jun._ Jubilee! What's that? _Clinch. sen._ Jubilee!

Pr'ythee, Robin, don't call me brother; sir will do every jot as well. _Clinch. jun._ Oh, Jupiter Ammon! why so? _Clinch. sen._ Because people will imagine you have a spite at me.--But have you seen your cousin Angelica yet, and her mother, the Lady Darling? _Clinch. jun._ No; my dancing-master has not been with me yet. How shall I salute them, brother? _Clinch. sen._ Pshaw! that's easy; 'tis only two scrapes, a kiss, and your humble servant. I'll tell you more when I come from the Jubilee. Come along. [_Exeunt._ [Illustration: SIR HARRY WILDAIR.--HERE IS A NEST OF THE PRETTIEST GOLDFINCHES, THAT EVER CHIRPED IN A CAGE. ACT. II. SCENE. II.] SCENE II. LADY DARLING'S _House_. _Enter_ SIR H.
