There's your money, tell it: and Brother, I am glad I met with so good occasion to show my love to you. I will study to deserve it in good truth, and I live. What is't right? I Sir, and I thank you. Let me have a capon's leg saved, now the reckoning is paid. You shall Sir: Where's signor Deliro? Here Macilente. Hark you sir, ha' you dispatched this same? I marry have I. Well then, I can tell you news, Briske is i' the Counter. I' the Counter? 'Tis true Sir, committed for the stir here tonight. Now would I have you send your brother home afore, with the report of this your kindness done him to his sister, which will so pleasingly possess her, and out of his mouth too, that i' the mean time you may clap your Action on Briske, and your wife (being in so happy a mood) cannot entertain it ill by any means. 'Tis very true, she cannot indeed, I think. Think? why 'tis past thought, you shall never meet the like opportunity, I assure you. I will do it. Brother pray you go home afore, this Gent. and I have some private business; and tell my sweet wife, I'll come presently. I will Brother. And signor, acquaint your sister, how liberally and out of his bounty, you brother has used you. (Do you see?) made you a man of good Reckoning; redeemed that you never were possessed of, Credit; gave you as Gentlemanlike terms as might be; found no fault with your coming behind the fashion; nor nothing. Nay I am out of those Humours now. Well, if you be out, keep your distance, and be not made a Shot-clog no more. Come signor, let's make haste. O master Fastidius, what pity is't to see so sweet a man as you are, in so sour a place? As upon her lips does she mean? O, this is to be imagined the Counter belike? Troth fair Lady, 'tis first the pleasure of the Fates, and next of the Constable to have it so, but, I am patient, and indeed comforted the more in your kind visitation. Nay, you shall be comforted in me more than this, if you please Sir. I sent you word by my Brother Sir, that my husband laid to rest you this morning, I know not whether you received it, or no? No believe it, sweet Creature, your Brother gave me no such intelligence. O the Lord! But has your husband any such purpose? O God Master Brisk, yes: and therefore be presently discharged; for if he come with his Actions upon you (Lord deliver you) you are in for one half a score year; he kept a poor man in Ludgate once, twelve year for sixteen shillings. Where's your keeper, for God's love call him, let him take a bribe, and dispatch you, Lord how my heart trembles! here are no spies? are there?
