Nay, nay; no wrangling. With whom? What cause has she given thee? But what's this to your pet against my Lady? But your art is seen in the diningroom. Justice Greedy: Our late young master. His father's picture in little. Her presence answer for us. I shall, Madam. Sir, it is her will, Which we that are her servants ought to serve it, And not dispute. How ere, you are nobly welcome, And if you please to stay, that you may think so; There came not fix days since from Hull, a pipe Ofrich Canary, which shall spend it self For my Ladies honour. Yes, Master Greedy. So we have played our parts, and are come off well. But if I know the mystery why my Lady Consented to it, or why Master Welborne Desired it, may I perish. This is rudeness, And saucy impudence. My Lady. How she starts! Agreed, Agreed. You are my Ladies charge, be therefore careful That you sustain your parts. It's he; disperse. This place becomes you not; Pray you walk Sir, to the dining room. He frights men out of their Estates, And breaks through all Law-netts, made to curb ill men, As they were cobwebs. No man dares reprove him. Such a spirit to dare, and power to do, were never Lodged so unluckily. Contain thy self man. Rose already. Nay shee'le preserve what's endue to her. What you please. A royal Gentleman. You are too munificent. Take this kick with you. Set all things right, or as my name is Order, And by this staff of office that commands you; This chain, and double ruff, Symbols of power; Who ever misses in him function, For one whole week makes forfeiture of his breakfast, And privilege in the wineseller.
Plot summary
Plot — A New Way to Pay Old Debts
Sir Giles Overreach’s schemes for the accumulation of lands and money include a campaign against his prodigal nephew, Welborne, and a plot to marry his daughter Margaret to Lord Lovell. Welborne has sold Overreach all his land to fund a prodigal lifestyle, and now Overreach’s agent Marrall has him ejected from his alehouse lodging: the objective is to force him into a choice between hunger and theft, and so procure his death either by starvation or on the gallows. Welborne goes to see the recently widowed Lady Alworth, who is refusing to see her many suitors, including Overreach’s associate Justice Greedy. Welborne forces his way in and persuades her, trading on his friendship with her dead husband, to entertain him and a guest to dinner. Welborne brings Marrall, who infers from their cordial reception that Welborne is to marry the widow. He is therefore likely to be worth more alive than dead, so Overreach changes his plans and lends him £1,000, with which Welborne pays his old debts. When Overreach attempts to close the trap and force him to sign away Lady Alworth’s lands, however, Welborne refuses, and insists that his own estate is wrongfully detained by Overreach. His uncle produces the deeds to prove otherwise, but Marrall, fed up with Overreach’s maltreatment, has tampered with them and they are invalid. To redeem his lost reputation, Welborne joins the army to fight for king and country. In the other plot, Lord Lovell goes to dinner at Overreach’s house, where another unexpected guest is Lady Alworth. Overreach plans to tempt him into sex with Margaret, so that he will then be obliged to restore her honour by marrying her. Margaret confides to Lovell that she prefers his page, Lady Alworth’s stepson, and, knowing that the attraction is mutual, Lovell agrees to help. He proposes that she should deceive her father with a display of amorousness, and that Alworth should be introduced into the equation as a carrier of love letters between them. Overreach agrees to this, is pleased to overhear that the first letter seems to solicit an elopement, and makes arrangements for his chaplain to perform the marriage. He is reeling from the failure of his Welborne scheme when the news arrives that the marriage has taken place — but the bridegroom has been Alworth, not Lovell. The extortioner goes mad and is sent to Bedlam, tormented by his conscience for his many financial misdeeds. Lovell asks Lady Alworth to marry him.
