LADY TOUCH。  You censure hardly�察�my lord�察�my sister's honour is very

well known。



LORD TOUCH。  Yes�察�I believe I know some that have been familiarly

acquainted with it。  This is a little trick wrought by some pitiful

contriver�察�envious of my nephew's merit。



LADY TOUCH。  Nay�察�my lord�察�it may be so�察�and I hope it will be found

so。  But that will require some time�察�for in such a case as this��

demonstration is necessary。



LORD TOUCH。  There should have been demonstration of the contrary

too�察�before it had been believed。



LADY TOUCH。  So I suppose there was。



LORD TOUCH。  How�拭 �Where�拭 �When��



LADY TOUCH。  That I can't tell�察�nay�察�I don't say there was。  I am

willing to believe as favourably of my nephew as I can。



LORD TOUCH。  I don't know that。  ��Half aside。��



LADY TOUCH。  How�拭 �Don't you believe that�察�say you�察�my lord��



LORD TOUCH。  No�察�I don't say so。  I confess I am troubled to find

you so cold in his defence。



LADY TOUCH。  His defence�  �Bless me�察�would you have me defend an ill

thing��



LORD TOUCH。  You believe it�察�then��



LADY TOUCH。  I don't know�察�I am very unwilling to speak my thoughts

in anything that may be to my cousin's disadvantage�此 �besides�察�I

find�察�my lord�察�you are prepared to receive an ill impression from

any opinion of mine which is not consenting with your own。  But��

since I am like to be suspected in the end�察�and 'tis a pain any

longer to dissemble�察�I own it to you�察�in short I do believe it�察�nay��

and can believe anything worse�察�if it were laid to his charge。

Don't ask me my reasons�察�my lord�察�for they are not fit to be told

you。



LORD TOUCH。  I'm amazed�此 �there must be something more than ordinary

in this。  ��Aside。�А �Not fit to be told me�察�madam�拭 �You can have no

interests wherein I am not concerned�察�and consequently the same

reasons ought to be convincing to me�察�which create your satisfaction

or disquiet。



LADY TOUCH。  But those which cause my disquiet I am willing to have

remote from your hearing。  Good my lord�察�don't press me。



LORD TOUCH。  Don't oblige me to press you。



LADY TOUCH。  Whatever it was�察�'tis past。  And that is better to be

unknown which cannot be prevented�察�therefore let me beg you to rest

satisfied。



LORD TOUCH。  When you have told me�察�I will。



LADY TOUCH。  You won't。



LORD TOUCH。  By my life�察�my dear�察�I will。



LADY TOUCH。  What if you can't��



LORD TOUCH。  How�拭 �Then I must know�察�nay�察�I will。  No more trifling。

I charge you tell me。  By all our mutual peace to come�察�upon your

duty ´



LADY TOUCH。  Nay�察�my lord�察�you need say no more�察�to make me lay my

heart before you�察�but don't be thus transported�察�compose yourself。

It is not of concern to make you lose one minute's temper。  'Tis

not�察�indeed�察�my dear。  Nay�察�by this kiss you shan't be angry。  O

Lord�察�I wish I had not told you anything。  Indeed�察�my lord�察�you have

frighted me。  Nay�察�look pleased�察�I'll tell you。



LORD TOUCH。  Well�察�well。



LADY TOUCH。  Nay�察�but will you be calm�拭 �Indeed it's nothing but ´



LORD TOUCH。  But what��



LADY TOUCH。  But will you promise me not to be angry�拭 �Nay�察�you

mustnot to be angry with Mellefont�拭 �I dare swear he's sorry�察�and

were it to do again�察�would not ´



LORD TOUCH。  Sorry for what�拭 �'Death�察�you rack me with delay。



LADY TOUCH。  Nay�察�no great matter�察�onlywell�察�I have your promise。

Pho�察�why nothing�察�only your nephew had a mind to amuse himself

sometimes with a little gallantry towards me。  Nay�察�I can't think he

meant anything seriously�察�but methought it looked oddly。



LORD TOUCH。  Confusion and hell�察�what do I hear��



LADY TOUCH。  Or�察�may be�察�he thought he was not enough akin to me��

upon your account�察�and had a mind to create a nearer relation on his

own�察�a lover you know�察�my lord。  Ha�察�ha�察�ha。  Well�察�but that's all。

Now you have it�察�well remember your promise�察�my lord�察�and don't take

any notice of it to him。



LORD TOUCH。  No�察�no�察�no。  Damnation��



LADY TOUCH。  Nay�察�I swear you must not。  A little harmless mirth��

only misplaced�察�that's all。  But if it were more�察�'tis over now�察�and

all's well。  For my part I have forgot it�察�and so has he�察�I hope��

for I have not heard anything from him these two days。



LORD TOUCH。  These two days�  �Is it so fresh�拭 �Unnatural villain��

Death�察�I'll have him stripped and turned naked out of my doors this

moment�察�and let him rot and perish�察�incestuous brute��



LADY TOUCH。  Oh�察�for heav'n's sake�察�my lord�察�you'll ruin me if you

take such public notice of it�察�it will be a town talk。  Consider

your own and my honour�察�nay�察�I told you you would not be satisfied

when you knew it。



LORD TOUCH。  Before I've done I will be satisfied。  Ungrateful

monster� �how long��



LADY TOUCH。  Lord�察�I don't know�察�I wish my lips had grown together

when I told you。  Almost a twelvemonth。  Nay�察�I won't tell you any

more till you are yourself。  Pray�察�my lord�察�don't let the company

see you in this disorder。  Yet�察�I confess�察�I can't blame you�察�for I

think I was never so surprised in my life。  Who would have thought

my nephew could have so misconstrued my kindness�拭 �But will you go

into your closet�察�and recover your temper。  I'll make an excuse of

sudden business to the company�察�and come to you。  Pray�察�good�察�dear

my lord�察�let me beg you do now。  I'll come immediately and tell you

all�察�will you�察�my lord��



LORD TOUCH。  I willI am mute with wonder。



LADY TOUCH。  Well�察�but go now�察�here's somebody coming。



LORD TOUCH。  Well�察�I go。  You won't stay�拭�for I would hear more of

this。



LADY TOUCH。  I follow instantly。  So。





SCENE II。





LADY TOUCHWOOD�察�MASKWELL。



MASK。  This was a masterpiece�察�and did not need my help�察�though I

stood ready for a cue to come in and confirm all�察�had there been

occasion。



LADY TOUCH。  Have you seen Mellefont��



MASK。  I have�察�and am to meet him here about this time。



LADY TOUCH。  How does he bear his disappointment��



MASK。  Secure in my assistance�察�he seemed not much afflicted�察�but

rather laughed at the shallow artifice�察�which so little time must of

necessity discover。  Yet he is apprehensive of some farther design

of yours�察�and has engaged me to watch you。  I believe he will hardly

be able to prevent your plot�察�yet I would have you use caution and

expedition。



LADY TOUCH。  Expedition indeed�察�for all we do must be performed in

the remaining part of this evening�察�and before the company break up��

lest my lord should cool and have an opportunity to talk with him

privately。  My lord must not see him again。



MASK。  By no means�察�therefore you must aggravate my lord's

displeasure to a degree that will admit of no conference with him。

What think you of mentioning me��



LADY TOUCH。  How��



MASK。  To my lord�察�as having been privy to Mellefont's design upon

you�察�but still using my utmost endeavours to dissuade him�察�though my

friendship and love to him has made me conceal it�察�yet you may say��

I threatened the next time he attempted anything of that kind to

discover it to my lord。



LADY TOUCH。  To what end is this��



MASK。  It will confirm my lord's opinion of my honour and honesty��

and create in him a new confidence in me�察�which ��should this design

miscarry�� will be necessary to the forming another plot that I have

in my head。To cheat you as well as the rest。  ��Aside。��



LADY TOUCH。  I'll do itI'll tell him you hindered him once from

forcing me。



MASK。  Excellent�  �Your ladyship has a most improving fancy。  You

had best go to my lord�察�keep him as long as you can in his closet��

and I doubt not but you will mould him to what you please�察�your

guests are so engaged in their own follies and intrigues�察�they'll

miss neither of you。



LADY TOUCH。  When shall we meet��at eight this evening in my

chamber�拭 �There rejoice at our success�察�and toy away an hour in

mirth。



MASK。  I will not fail。





SCENE III。





MASKWELL alone。



I know what she means by toying away an hour well enough。  Pox�察�I

have lost all appetite to her�察�yet she's a fine woman�察�and I loved

her once。  But I don't know�此 �since I have been in a great measure

kept by her�察�the case is altered�察�what was my pleasure is become my

duty�察�and I have as little stomach to her now as if I were her

husband。  Should she smoke my design upon Cynthia�察�I were in a fine

pickle。  She has a damned penetrating head�察�and knows how to

interpret a coldness the right way�察�therefore I must dissemble

ardour and ecstasy�察�that's resolved。  How easily and pleasantly is

that dissembled before fruition�  �Pox on't that a man can't drink

without quenching his thirst。  Ha� �yonder comes Mellefont��

thoughtful。  Let me think。  Meet her at eighthumha�  �By heav'n I

have it。If I can speak to my lord before。  Was it my brain or

providence�拭 �No matter whichI will deceive 'em all�察�and yet secure

myself。  'Twas a lucky thought�  �Well�察�this double´dealing is a

jewel。  Here he comes�察�now for me。  ��MASKWELL�察�pretending not to see

him�察�walks by him�察�and speaks as it were to himself。��





SCENE IV。





��To him�А�MELLEFONT�察�musing。



MASK。  Mercy on us�察�what will the wickedness of this world come to��



MEL。  How now�察�Jack�拭 �What�察�so full of contemplation that you run

over��



MASK。  I'm glad you're come�察�for I could not contain myself any

longer�察�and was just going to give vent to a secret�察�which nobody

but you ought to drink down。  Your aunt's just gone from hence。



MEL。  And having trusted thee with the secrets of her soul�察�thou art

villainously bent to discover 'em all to me�察�ha��



MASK。  I'm afraid my frailty leans that way。  But I don't know

whether I can in honour discover 'em all。



MEL。  All�察�all�察�man�  �What�察�you may in honour betray her as far as

she betrays herself。  No tragical design upon my person�察�I hope。



MASK。  No�察�but it's a comical design upon mine。



MEL。  What dost thou mean��
