I wot not what he meant. But I is we'll sure, I'll ne'er be sure to any Man but he. And if he love me not as we'll, God pardon him. For I meant him none ill. I know not how to counsel or comfort you, until I hear him speak. My man tells me, he appointed him to meet, and bring him to you about this hour. Poor heart I pity thee. Before thou come to half my years thou wilt forget to love half so truly. Mistress. O, are you come? where's the Knight? He stays below, and willed me to come up first, to to make his passage clear and secure. That was discretion. Rather fear I think: for he asked me if the house were not much haunted with Roarers or Swaggerers, poniards and pistols: whether there were not an Assurer for it as upon the Exchange, as if his life were upon hazard? whether a Man might come on without loss of credit, and off without need of a Surgeon? Much odd talk he delivers; that in my conceit bewrays, at once, both a lascivious and cowardly disposition; and upon my understanding, cannot be so generous, or nobly spirited, as he is received. Do what you will. I suspect something. Will he not come Mrs. Trainwell? Yes sweetheart. But go you to your Chamber and let me have a word before you see him. Go call him in. Do so sweetheart. I'll not be long. I'll do aught you bid me God gin I saw him eance. A place of fair promising! How have I lived that never discovered this place before? This place royal! But sought my recreation, in by-lanes, and sluttish corners, unsavoury Allies and Ditch sides? when here the whole house is perfumed: An Earl might think it his own lodging; Ladies might come to see the pictures, and not blush, to go in or out unmasked. Sir, will you speak to my Mistress? The man is transported sure! I understand thy office, leads thee no further; thy pains are abroad and below stairs. Here honest Fetch. Look thee, here's the poor price of a new pair of shoes; take it. Descend, and execute thy duty. Bless me! this is another man. More abuse yet? Now gentlewoman to you. What fees belong to your Key? Come, where's the bed? where's the party? Here's the man: hero's the money. Chunke chunke you old Gamester, dost hear? Here's half a piece to buy thee complexion, sack or Aquavitae. What thou lik'st. What are you sir I pray? Faith one that's a little ill given at this time. Where's the piece? here are the pieces ● tell thee. What piece sir? If you can imagine what you are, where you are, what you would have, or where you would be, I pray tell me sir. I'll do the best I can to satisfy you. O' my discretion will I sir.
