Plot summary
Plot — The Alchemist
With his master absent to avoid the plague in London, Face has set up an occult consultancy in his house in association with the formerly itinerant rogues Subtle and Doll Common: Face fetches in the clients and Subtle poses as the alchemist. They quarrel over the relative merits of their contributions to the enterprise, but resolve to collaborate competitively in the day’s ===== PAGE 80 ===== business. They are visited by successive clients: Dapper, who wants a familiar to help him win at gambling; Drugger, who wants advice on the most auspicious layout for his shop; Sir Epicure Mammon, who seeks the philosopher’s stone to fulfil his fantasies of wealth, luxury, and voluptuousness, and who brings along with him the sceptic Surly; and the religious sectarians Ananias and Tribulation, who want both the stone and Subtle’s claimed expertise in counterfeiting foreign coins.

Meanwhile, Surly returns, disguised as a Spanish count seeking sexual favours; but, since Doll is busy with Mammon, he is foisted on Dame Pliant, who is tempted with the chance of becoming a Spanish countess. His attempt to tell her the truth is outmanoeuvred when Face and Subtle convince her that he is an impostor and that the real Count is on his way; Drugger is persuaded to impersonate him and sent off to borrow a Spanish suit for the role. Lovewit, the master of the house, returns to hear Tumours of strange goings-on. Face’s explanation is confuted by the cries of Dapper, forgotten in the privy, so he confesses everything.
