You do not mock me sir? Sir, This is one of the Guests? Only salute 'em. Bid 'em welcome— What's this? Tell 'em Sir Paul was hastily called forth on his Majesty's affairs— Is this a parrot or a Popingay? Entreat their patience till his return, which you know. Do you know what you say sir? Will be very sudden, although you know not where he is— If I did I would not seek him here sir. And so forth as occasion serves. This is some enchanted Place, and the people are charmed. I have mistaken the house sure. Where's this hospitable Knight that invites Strangers. I mean mere Strangers, that he knows not. Show me the Lad of bounty. I hunger not for his supper as I do to salute him. He will prove the greatest stranger here himself I think, for he is not at home sir. I am a Guest as you are, and would be as glad to see him. He does not mean to jeer us does he? I beseech you mistake not so his purpose sir: which is fair welcome, and good cheer to you all. Therefore Gentlemen and ladies, will it please you to entertain one another a while. Look ye. Here's good Sack, and good Tobacco. And before the rest of the Guests become, Sir Paul will be here himself. This fellow speaks. As I am a justice of Peace I cannot apprehended, and yet methinks I do. What sort of people these Gentlemen may be. See: more I Is sir Paul turned swaggerer? Or is his house abused by servants? I will not leave it, until they go out before me like a jail delivery. They look like men betwixt a Reprieve and Pardon. Friend: Are these sir Paul's elected friends? His protected friends sir. Protected? ay sir. There is a fraternity of them. The brothers of the Protect. There's not a man of 'em, but has all Mayors, Sheriffs, Bailiffs, Sergeants at Mace, Marshals men, Constables, and other his Majesty's Officers, in a Comb-case in his pocket. They are a Generation that never eat but in Parliament time, and now every table is full of them. I should wonder what they did here else. See. A roaring Doctor too, broke out o' the king's Bench. By your leave Gallants. I perceive your Company is not yet full. Are you of the invited sir? It is not to be doubted sir. Yet a Voluntary. But there are some without that are more than invited, yet come against their wills. How mean you M. Doctor? Brought sir by a Constable and Officers, to be examined. Where's the jolly justice? What are they can ye tell sir? A Gentlewoman, and a Spaniard. A Spaniard, Ha! ay, a Spaniard, Ha: if you will have it so: If we had but a justice among us to Examine 'em, it might pass the time well till sir Paul came.
