Why, I told you, Davy Bristle. Why, who would have thought any body would have quar rell'd so early? or that the ale o'the Fair would have been up so soon. I cannot tell. Why? should the watch go by the clock, or the clock by the watch, I pray? He goes a way again. What's he? bring him up to the stocks there. Why bring you him not up? Come, Sir, here's a place for you to preach in. They put him in the stocks. Will you put in your leg? You may, Sir, I warrant you; where's the tother Baw ler? fetch him too, you shall find them both fast enough. What's this fellow, for Gods sake? Before me, goes again. Neighbour Bristle (and now I think on't bet ter) Justice Ouerdoo, is a very parantory person. But he will burn blue, and swell Like a boil (God bless us) and he be angry. They take the Justice out. Well, take him out of the stocks again, wee'll go a sure way to work, wee'll have the Ace of hearts of our side, if we can. Let him alone, we have devised better vpon't. Why, he says joust nothing, what should he say? Or where should he say? He is not to be found, Man. He have not been seen i'the Fair, here, all this livelong day, never since seven a clock in the morning. His Clerks know not what to think on't. There is no Court of Pie-poulders yet. Here they be returned. I think we were best put them in the stocks, in discre cion (there they will be safe in discretion) for the valour of and hour, or such a thing, till his worship come. As they open the stocks, Wasp puts his shoe on his hand, and slips it in for his leg. No! see if you can lock them better. You are a mad fool, hold your tongue.
Plot summary
Plot — Bartholomew Fair
Bartholomew Cokes has two objectives in life: to visit the fair which shares his name, and to marry Grace Wellborn, who, as a ward, faces a financial penalty should she refuse. He sends his servant Wasp to Littlewit the proctor to obtain a marriage licence, but then, impatiently, comes himself. He brings Grace with him, and she attracts the interest of Winwife, present with his friend Quarlous as a suitor to Littlewit’s mother-in-law, Dame Purecraft. Littlewit is more interested in Cokes’s talk of the fair, having secretly written one of the puppet plays to be performed there. The only snag is that the puritanical Dame Purecraft will disapprove of their visit, thinking fairs profane. Busy, an elder of Purecraft’s church, advises the family that fairs may lawfully be visited for good reason, and comes along with them to partake of the pork. After some unfortunate experiences involving mistaken identity, Justice Overdo no longer trusts informers and has decided to do his spying personally. He visits the fair in disguise to seek out ‘enormities’ perpetrated by the fairground folk. He is impressed by one young man, Edgeworth, and decides to rescue him from the clutches of the cheaters; but he does not know that Edgeworth is a cutpurse. While Overdo is busy telling him about the wickedness of tobacco, Edgeworth steals Cokes’s purse; Overdo gets the blame. When it happens a second time, Overdo is arrested and put in the stocks. There he encounters the madman Trouble-All, who persistently demands Overdo’s warrant for any action; it transpires that he was a court official driven out of his mind by Overdo’s own actions. The watchmen, concerned to get better authority, release Overdo from the stocks for the time being. Meanwhile, the Littlewits arrive at the fair, but Busy becomes over-excited in his condemnation, attacks the fairground booths, and is arrested; Dame Purecraft goes after him, leaving Littlewit and Win free to enjoy themselves. Edgeworth tricks Wasp into making affidavit so that, at Quarlous’s instigation, he can steal Cokes’s marriage licence. Wasp too is arrested and put in the stocks, but escapes by a ruse when Overdo and Busy are put in beside him. The women visitors to the fair are separated from the men. Littlewit leaves Win in the care of two fairground bawds while he goes off to check the arrangements for his puppet show. Cokes abandons Grace and Mistress Overdo to try and get back his stolen property. Desperate for the toilet, Mistress…
