nd perverted, my dear friend:
for, I 'm afraid, he has made her a whore and a
papist! But this is not all; there's the French
count and Mrs. Sullen, they 're in the confederacy,
and for some private ends of their own, to be sure.

_Arch_. A very hopeful family yours, brother Scrub!
suppose the maiden lady has her lover too?

_Scrub_. Not that I know: she's the best on 'em, that's
the truth on't: but they take care to prevent my
curiosity, by giving me so much business, that I'm
a perfect slave. What d' ye think is my place in
this family?

_Arch_. Butler, I suppose. 99

_Scrub_. Ah, Lord help you! I 'll tell you. Of a Monday
I drive the coach, of a Tuesday I drive the plough,
on Wednesday I follow the hounds, a Thursday I
dun the tenants, on Friday I go to market, on Saturday
I draw warrants, and a Sunday I draw beer.

_Arch_. Ha! ha! ha! if variety be a pleasure in life, you
have enough on't, my dear brother. But what
ladies are those?

_Scrub_. Ours, ours; that upon the right hand is Mrs.
Sullen, and the other is Mrs. Dorinda. Don't mind
'em; sit still, man. {110}

_Enter Mrs. Sullen and Dorinda_.

_Mrs. Sul_. I have heard my brother talk of my Lord
Aimwell; but they say that his brother is the
finer gentleman.

_Dor_. That's impossible, sister.

_Mrs. Sul_. He's vastly rich, but very close, they say.

_Dor_. No matter for that; if I can creep into his heart,
I 'll open his breast, I warrant him: I have heard
say, that people may be guessed at by the behaviour
of their servants; I could wish we might talk to
that fellow. {120}

_Mrs. Sul_. So do I; for I think he 's a very pretty
fellow. Come this way, I'll throw out a lure for
him presently.

[_Dorinda and Mrs. Sullen walk a turn towards
the opposite side of the stage_.

_Arch_. [_Aside_.] Corn, wine, and oil indeed!--But, I
think, the wife has the greatest plenty of flesh and
blood; she should be my choice.--Ay, ay, say you
so!--[_Mrs. Sullen drops her glove. Archer runs,
takes it up and gives to her_.] Madam--your ladyship's
glove.

_Mrs. Sul_. O sir, I thank you!--[To Dorinda.] What
a handsome bow the fellow has! {131}

_Dor_. Bow! why, I have known several footmen come
down from London set up here for dancing-masters,
and carry off the best fortunes in the country.

_Arch_. [_Aside_.] That project, for aught I know, had been
better than ours.--[_To Scrub_.] Brother Scrub,
