I tit not speak with Sir Paul then, it seems, to know the reason why I am subdoodled thus, In I protest and vow a kind of fool's Paradise. Good sir bear your injury with a Man's patience. Sir Paul will not be long absent. And till he comes, my Mistress entreats you (for your own good) to take his part upon you, in giving entertainment to divers of his friends, who are invited hither to a Feast tonight. H● you any Whitpots? Much better meat sir. But here's the strangeness of it; and the only occasion that requires you aid in the entertainment. This great Supper or feast (as I may properly call it) was appointed by Sir Poule himself, the money to buy the Provisioned delivered by his own hand, to his own Servant; the Guests of his own election; vet he, out of the multiplicity of cross affairs, that have happened this day, hath quite forgot that there was any such preparation, or any such meeting intended, as appears evidently by his absence. But my Mistress has got all the meat privately made ready at the next house, on purpose that he should should see nothing— To try is he would forget it or no? Right sir. I have bidden all the Guests: and expect them immediately. But what must I say to 'em? Only salute 'em, bid 'em welcome; Tell 'em Sir Paul was hastily called forth on his Majesty's affairs; Entreat their patience till his return, which you know will be every sudden although you know not where he is; and so forth, as occasion serves. Your Master abroad and not within say you? Yes. But good sir stay his coming, I pray you, for his good. I partly apprehend you at full. Mistress Trainwell appointed me to come too with all possible speed. M. Nonsense you are well apprehended. Only salute 'em, bid 'em welcome. Tell 'em Sir Paul was hastily called forth on his Majesty's affairs. Entreat their patience till his return, which you know will be very sudden, although you know not where he is. And so forth as occasion serves. Love has made you a Courtier. M Nonsense No I protest and vow. I do but speak as they say.— What have you said Sir? What you said I have an ill verbatim else. I said but the meaning of what you should say, and put it in your own words. No sir. I will take your own words for this matter. I am beholden to you. I am glad Fortune has sent one man of Civil government before the Roarers come. Here comes some of 'em already. I'll down and look to the rest of the house. Save you sir. Are you the Worshipful of the house? I apprehend you sir.— How sir?— Mistake me not I beseech you, I apprehend you to be some great stranger here: because you know the place better than the Master of it.
