Sir _Har._ You gave me such Hopes, Madam, that you'll keep that for your own Reputation. [_To_ Nick.] Your pardon, Sir, for whispering your Lady. _Nick._ Sir, I have more Manners than to be jealous, especially of what I don't care two pinches of Snuff for. _Enter Servant._ _Ser._ Madam, _Major Bramble_, and his Lady. La. _Rod._ _Major Bramble_, and his Lady! Sir _Har._ Oh! my Lady _Toss-up_, Madam, has marry'd the _Major_; I met 'em coming from _Covent-Garden-Church_, with Five hundred Boys after 'em. _Enter_ Bramble, _and Lady_ Toss-up. _Bram._ Hearing, Madam, your Ladyship had almost engag'd your self, I was resolv'd to lay aside all Animosities, and let you know, I have taken to Wife the most incomparable Lady _Toss-up_.
