Many Sir, for convenient persons. It is not in my understanding; wherefore the satisfaction I can give you will be doubtful. I know none of my neighbours better then my self. I have as hand some Lodgings as any are in Covent Garden: my before rooms have a fair prospect, and my back-rooms a sweet air. If you please to let that Tavern receive you till I have made them ready, I will return and give you notice . My friend, pray what's your Master's name? My demands are civil and for no hurt. I must know before my house can give him entertainment. I am a patient bearer. I mean with your unmanerlinesse. A downright! you make me blus . So Sir, the terms are not equal for such fami liaritie. Good friend stay a little, and tell me thy Ma sters name. Nay, prithee friend: my knowledge of it may much concern his, or (if not) thy good. My daughter Jynny's a handsome girl, he that pleases me best shall have her. Nay, credit me upon my word, it's earnest. Yes indeed. And under-Lawyer, and Attourney. Farewell good friend. The Gentleman to lie at my house! very good. I must project a profit out of the accident; a new Gown, or a Beaver, or some come position with a bound of assurance, when I procure him a good Wife. Perhaps he shall have my Daughter Iynny. Who would think this little body of mine were so busy in stirring actions, Master Theodore Art-love! Fair erections are pleasing things. How Like you the Balconee's? They set off a Ladies person well, when she presents her self to the view of gazing passengers. Artificial fucations are not dis cerned at distance. Your desires (I believe) are bent towards his fair Daughter. Let me aid you: my neighbourhood hath interested me in her acquaintance; I can make way; and truly Mr. Art-love I Like you so well, that (were she worthy) you should have my daughter Iynnye. But do you love Mistress Dorothy? And would you not use me! hath so long pra ctise in matchmaking made me politic to contrive, and my conversation with your self and the rest of the Wits made me complemental, and do you think I cannot fa cilitate your entrance to Mistress Dorothy? Why, you are and Heir to a thousand pound a year. And officious lie may be dispens't with. If you have such a tender conscience, so religi ously scrupulous, you'll never be a Politician. But here's one will, and I must aid him int Mr. Littleword. Whither pray you little sir? Alas, you cannot get up without a stirrup. Very seldom with three dice. Can your littleness cog? Alas little one, you'll loose your self: you'll never hit the way home. Preserve your courtesy child, and your money: Lent's at hand, and then every street will afford boys re creation. Come Mr. Little-word. This Gentleman Madame, whom I presume to commend to your Ladyships acquaintance, is of worthy birth and education: the Littlewords are not modern; be sides their Ancestors were great Philosophers. Go, and talk to her. I'll tell your Ladyship a strange thing of the Little-words. In seven generations there was but one girl, and she died and infant. Contra riwise of the Tongalls there's but one man left, that's my Husband, and he's a Lawyer: now your Ladyship knows he gets nothing but wenches. Speak to her Mr. Little word. Extraordinary Madame; he's a wit. I would my Iynny were worthy of him, he should seek no further. I pray Mr. Littleword speak to her. Excellently Madame; he hath things in print. His next dedication shall be to your Ladyship. Why do you not go and talk to her? Five hundred a year present possession, more in reversion. This Gentleman, Mris. Dorothy, is my friend, and desire's to be your servant. I have made way now, why do you not speak to her? I am bold to commend him to your liking. You mistake Mris. Dorothy; it's your love he would serve you for. None are so confident (Madame) as cuckolds. But your Ladyships known virtue will soon put out the eyes of his suspicion. Speak to her Mr. Littleword. It's his modesty Mris. Dorothy. Bless me that you would not speak to her. This it's to be backward: you'll never thrive in any thing unless you are more forward. Loose such and open portunity with not speaking to her! I take my leave Madame. If my presumption to bring a worthy acquain tance along with me, seem's not unmannerly. Sweet Mr. Dasher, you are the best Woman Vin tener that ever loved a Gossips tale. You have so many good things to pleasure a woman with. You were wont to have and excellent neat tongue. Kind Master Dasher. My humbleness receives your favour thankfully. My service to you Mr. Dasher. My friend (Sir) though he be of few words, is a fine wit, and a great observer. I thank you Mr Little-word. Indeed Mr. Dasher, it's excellent Sack. If you were unmarried you should have my daughter inny, for keeping such good With in your house. My friend, why so thou shalt. This Sack makes my heart merry. Why my Daughter linny. Please you Sir, to my daughter Iinny. William, thou art and honest fellow; and if thou bringest us good wine, thou shalt have my daughter Iinny from them all. It's his practice of observation. He is taking a humour for a Play: perhaps my talking of my daugh ter Iinny. Now Mr. Little-word, you have some fine mat ter there to work upon. How, I bring and Informer! as I am a Matron, he's a Gentleman, a wit, and a rare Projector. If I thought you were, you should never have my daughter Iinny. But be sure you speak to Mistress Dorothy. Nay I'll along with you too, and perhaps speak a good word. I have acquaintance with the Justice, and his Clerk knows my daughter Iinny. He is my friend Sir; and if you abuse him, you shall not have my daughter Iinny. I shall be ready to fulfil your desires. No Sir, nor night-walkers that are taken up, and cast down I have declared my self of as good carriage as any in the neighbourhood; and my daughter Iinny waits upon and honourable Lady. Fie, that you will not speak to her. And how does your Ladyship Like and old man? And he that will not pledge it, shall not have her.
Plot summary
Plot — Covent Garden
Dungworth comes to London from the country with his servants, Ralph and Dobson, intending to sell some of his lands and buy himself a knighthood. Artlove aims to woo Dorothy Worthy, and Mistress Tongueall offers her services as matchmaker —but also helps the foolish Littleword to the same ends. Hugh Jerker's objective is to cuckold Dorothy's father, Sir Generous Worthy: Lady Worthy was Jerker's mistress before she was forced to marry Sir Generous to get her away from him. Warrant and Spruce are both interested in the waiting-woman, Susan, and meet to fight a duel over her. Warrant has taken the precaution of procuring an advance pardon for killing Spruce, and Spruce anticipates that, if he kills Warrant, Susan will save his life with a gallows wedding. In the event, both are too cowardly to fight, and Susan and Dorothy, who are watching, engage Dobson and Ralph to attack them. Both talk their way out of a beating, leaving behind clothes and money. The servants consider taking up robbery as a profession. They have an altercation with Dorothy's brother, but Artlove intervenes and sees them off. Young Worthy vets his rescuer as a potential brother-in-law, and recommends him to Dorothy. She resents this interference, but eventually accepts Artlove. At the tavern, Ralph and Dobson are arrested for the robbery and brought before Sir Generous; but Warrant refuses to admit that he was robbed, and the case collapses. Ralph and Dobson conduct a mock-trial, with themselves as judge and constable, and use the opportunity to pass satirical comment on several characters.Lady Worthy arranges an assignation with Jerker, and asks Susan to be the lookout. Instead, Susan fetches the jealous Sir Generous, who arrives to see hiswife kissingJerker. Jerker suggests that he should divorce her; but she explains that the assignation was set up to cure her husband's jealousy.
