He hath something of Master Overdo , me thinks, bro there. Ha'st a fine picture, Brother? Brother, it is the preaching fellow! you shall suspect him. He was at your tother purse, you know! Nay, stay, Sir, and view the work you ha'done, an'you be benefie'd at the Gallows, and preach there, thank your own handiwork. So did I, I'll besworne, brother; but now I see he is a lewd, and pernicious Enormity: (as Master Ouerdoo calls him.) Why, Gentlemen, why Gentlemen, I charge you upon my authority, conserve the peace. In the Kings name, and my Husbands, put up your weapons, I shall be driven to commit you my self, else. What mean you? are you Rebels? Gentlemen? shall I send out a Sericant at Arms, or a Writ o'Rebellion, against you? I'll commit you upon my womanhood, for a Riot, upon my Ju stice-hood, if you persist. I thank you honest friends, in the behalf o'the Crown, and the peace, and in Master Ouerdoo's name, for suppressing enor mities. A little distempered with these enormities; shall I in treat a courtesy of you, Captain? I cannot with modesty speak it out, but— Yes, Captain, though I am Justice of peace's wife, I do love Men of war, and the Sons of the sword, when they come before my husband. Help, help, i'the Kings name. Nay, good M r Numpes, do you show discretion, though he be exorbitant, (as M r Overdo says,) an't be but for conservation of the peace. I am content to be in abeyance, Sir, and be governed by you; so should he too, if he did well; but it'll be expected, you should also govern your passion. Nay, if you know not what belongs to your dignity: I do, yet, to mine. You will not let him go, Brother, and lose him? Not any body, but Numps. Is't indeed, brother? I pray you, have a better care of that, brother. Good M r Humphrey. Why, Numps, in Master Ouerdoo's name, I charge you. Alas! poor Numps. Master Ouerdoo shall thank her. Good Ga'mere Urs; Win, and I, are exceedingly beholden to you, and to Captain Jordan, and Captain Whit. Win, I'll be bold to leave you, i'this good company, Win: for half and hour, or so Win, while I go, and see how my matter goes forward, and if the Puppets be perfect: and then I'll come & fetch you, Win. Will not my Adam come at me? shall I see him no more then? Oh lend me a basin, I am sick, I am sick; Mistress Ouerdoo is sick: and her husband is silenced. where's M r . Ouerdoo? Bridget, call hither my Adam.
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…
