One word, by your leave first M. Doctor, and I'll attend you. Sir not alone my Discretion, but my Reputation lies at stake: and I make no doubt of your nobleness upon your Kinsman's word, my Complotter in this business. Therefore while I hold argument with the Doctor (who shall by no means perceive our deceit) slip you away with her in your Coach, where M. Tridewell▪ hath appointed, till the Evening; and let me alone to scuffle with the old man the while▪ And than I doubt not all our troublesome labours shall have a peaceable end. I'll send old Madcap to your Lady in a Thunderclap. But noble sir, your reputation— My life and honour be her Guard, and your security. No more sir. I'll lay no conjurations upon so noble a spirit. Come Master Doctor— But do you love me Constance? O right we'll sir. And will you be my Woman? I is sure, i'll never be mine own else. But you will not go away with me now, if I request you? Any whither but to bed before we be married. What from your Governess, your Uncle, and all the World? And thank you too sir. And ta' me but fro' this ill looking Doctor; for I shall be we'll with you sir. Come, since you trust me so well, we two will not part till we are lawfully made one. Heaven bliss the hour you speak in, and all Saints be witnesses. Where's this Doctor? where's this melancholy Gentlewoman? O me is he come? Is this her Uncle? Even he sir. Where's my charge; Mistress Constance? save ye sir I'll go find her— Where's my charge? I'll go find her! What's the meaning? she was here but now sir, while the Music played. And we withdrew our sclues, thinking she might sleep sir. There went a Coach away as I came in. Whose was it? A Coach sir? Alas I am afraid; my flesh trembles. At what in your great Master the devil's name? Where's my Niece? Sir here came in one Master widgeon, the Lady Luckless' brother— Well. As acquainted with the Doctor sir— Well, well. And he saw her sir. But seemed to depart, when we withdrew ourselves to talk about the cure. Very very well. While you were wisely talking about the cure, a widgeon flies away with the Patient. Where's this Doctor? Doctor I say. Doctor! he's run away too, my life on't. A mere plot, a Conspiracy; 'tis so directly, below there. I can not see how it can be otherwise. Saw you the Doctor? Yes sir, he went now forth at the water-Gate, and took boat in haste. Exceeding well▪ How came your Discretion acquainted with this Doctor? Sir he was reported to me by very good judgements, to be a rare Practitioner. A most rare fellow, and does admirable tricks, by slight of heels. But I may perhaps outrun 'em— My purge works as I wished. I am amused though at the flight of the Doctor. But I have too many businesses to entertain new thoughts.
