Plot summary
Plot — The Hog Hath Lost His Pearl
Haddit has spent all his money and mortgaged his lands to Hog the usurer, and now ekes out a living selling jigs to players. He aims to solve his financial problems by marrying Rebecca, Hog’s daughter, whose affections he had previously refused in the belief that she was too low-born for him. Hog intends Rebecca to marry young Lord Wealthy, but she refuses, and helps Haddit trick her father. Haddit’s uncle, Lightfoot, helps to get the servant Peter out of the way by picking a quarrel, to give him a pretext for making peace with a drinking contest; Peter imbibes himself insensible in the cellar. Rebecca steals Hog’s keys, giving Haddit and his accomplices access to his bedroom, where he keeps his gold. Lightfoot appears to Hog as the ghost of Croesus, come to make the usurer rich: a spirit will ===== PAGE 291 ===== 1613 take his gold and transform it into pearl, which is even more valuable; in reality, Haddit steals the money and retrieves his mortgage, then absconds with Rebecca and marries her. Hog goes to complain to old Lord Wealthy, but his supernatural experiences induce a conversion: he renounces avarice and gives the couple his blessing. In the sub-plot, Carracus plans to elope with young Lord Wealthy’s sister Maria, and entrusts his friend Albert with the arrangements. Albert visits Maria early, posing as Carracus, and has sex with her; she then leaves with Carracus as planned, and marries him: Albert suffers remorse and decides to leave human society. Some time later, Carracus notices that Maria is wearing Albert’s ring, which he gave her on the night of the elopement. Both realize what Albert did; Maria faints and Carracus is told that she has died of shame. In fact, she disguises herself as a page and flees to the woods, where Albert has carved penitential verses on every tree. Posing as a hermit, Albert finds her almost dead from starvation; he takes her to his cave; and feeds her. Carracus also goes to the woods, where an echo tells him that Maria is alive and innocent. They meet up, and revelations ensue: the page is chaste Maria and the hermit is penitent Albert. Carracus and Maria forgive him, and make their peace with Maria’s family.
