ountable bashfulness�察�is pretty well too。  He has good sense�察�but then so buried in his fears�察�that it fatigues one more than ignorance。  If I could teach him a little confidence�察�it would be doing somebody that I know of a piece of service。  But who is that somebody��That�察�faith�察�is a question I can scarce answer。  ��Exit。��


Enter TONY and MISS NEVILLE�察�followed by MRS。 HARDCASTLE and HASTINGS。


TONY。  What do you follow me for�察�cousin Con�拭 �I wonder you're not ashamed to be so very engaging。

MISS NEVILLE。  I hope�察�cousin�察�one may speak to one's own relations�察�and not be to blame。

TONY。  Ay�察�but I know what sort of a relation you want to make me�察�though�察�but it won't do。  I tell you�察�cousin Con�察�it won't do�察�so I beg you'll keep your distance�察�I want no nearer relationship。  ��She follows�察�coquetting him to the back scene。��

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  Well�  �I vow�察�Mr。 Hastings�察�you are very entertaining。  There's nothing in the world I love to talk of so much as London�察�and the fashions�察�though I was never there myself。

HASTINGS。  Never there�  �You amaze me�  �From your air and manner�察�I concluded you had been bred all your life either at Ranelagh�察�St。  James's�察�or Tower Wharf。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  O� �sir�察�you're only pleased to say so。  We country persons can have no manner at all。  I'm in love with the town�察�and that serves to raise me above some of our neighbouring rustics�察�but who can have a manner�察�that has never seen the Pantheon�察�the Grotto Gardens�察�the Borough�察�and such places where the nobility chiefly resort�拭 �All I can do is to enjoy London at second´hand。  I take care to know every tete´a´tete from the Scandalous Magazine�察�and have all the fashions�察�as they come out�察�in a letter from the two Miss Rickets of Crooked Lane。  Pray how do you like this head�察�Mr。 Hastings��

HASTINGS。  Extremely elegant and degagee�察�upon my word�察�madam。  Your friseur is a Frenchman�察�I suppose��

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  I protest�察�I dressed it myself from a print in the Ladies' Memorandum´book for the last year。

HASTINGS。  Indeed�  �Such a head in a side´box at the play´house would draw as many gazers as my Lady Mayoress at a City Ball。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  I vow�察�since inoculation began�察�there is no such thing to be seen as a plain woman�察�so one must dress a little particular�察�or one may escape in the crowd。

HASTINGS。  But that can never be your case�察�madam�察�in any dress。  ��Bowing。��

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  Yet�察�what signifies my dressing when I have such a piece of antiquity by my side as Mr。 Hardcastle�此�all I can say will never argue down a single button from his clothes。  I have often wanted him to throw off his great flaxen wig�察�and where he was bald�察�to plaster it over�察�like my Lord Pately�察�with powder。

HASTINGS。  You are right�察�madam�察�for�察�as among the ladies there are none ugly�察�so among the men there are none old。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  But what do you think his answer was�拭 �Why�察�with his usual Gothic vivacity�察�he said I only wanted him to throw off his wig�察�to convert it into a tete for my own wearing。

HASTINGS。  Intolerable�  �At your age you may wear what you please�察�and it must become you。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  Pray�察�Mr。 Hastings�察�what do you take to be the most fashionable age about town��

HASTINGS。  Some time ago�察�forty was all the mode�察�but I'm told the ladies intend to bring up fifty for the ensuing winter。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  Seriously。  Then I shall be too young for the fashion。

HASTINGS。  No lady begins now to put on jewels till she's past forty。  For instance�察�Miss there�察�in a polite circle�察�would be considered as a child�察�as a mere maker of samplers。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  And yet Mrs。 Niece thinks herself as much a woman�察�and is as fond of jewels�察�as the oldest of us all。

HASTINGS。  Your niece�察�is she�拭 �And that young gentleman�察�a brother of yours�察�I should presume��

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  My son�察�sir。  They are contracted to each other。  Observe their little sports。  They fall in and out ten times a day�察�as if they were man and wife already。  ��To them。��  Well�察�Tony�察�child�察�what soft things are you saying to your cousin Constance this evening��

TONY。  I have been saying no soft things�察�but that it's very hard to be followed about so。  Ecod� �I've not a place in the house now that's left to myself�察�but the stable。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  Never mind him�察�Con�察�my dear。  He's in another story behind your back。

MISS NEVILLE。  There's something generous in my cousin's manner。  He falls out before faces to be forgiven in private。

TONY。  That's a damned confoundedcrack。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  Ah� �he's a sly one。  Don't you think they are like each other about the mouth�察�Mr。 Hastings�拭 �The Blenkinsop mouth to a T。  They're of a size too。  Back to back�察�my pretties�察�that Mr。 Hastings may see you。  Come�察�Tony。

TONY。  You had as good not make me�察�I tell you。  ��Measuring。��

MISS NEVILLE。  O lud� �he has almost cracked my head。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  O�察�the monster�  �For shame�察�Tony。  You a man�察�and behave so��

TONY。  If I'm a man�察�let me have my fortin。  Ecod� �I'll not be made a fool of no longer。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  Is this�察�ungrateful boy�察�all that I'm to get for the pains I have taken in your education�拭 �I that have rocked you in your cradle�察�and fed that pretty mouth with a spoon�  �Did not I work that waistcoat to make you genteel�拭 �Did not I prescribe for you every day�察�and weep while the receipt was operating��

TONY。  Ecod� �you had reason to weep�察�for you have been dosing me ever since I was born。  I have gone through every receipt in the Complete Huswife ten times over�察�and you have thoughts of coursing me through Quincy next spring。  But�察�ecod� �I tell you�察�I'll not be made a fool of no longer。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  Wasn't it all for your good�察�viper�拭 �Wasn't it all for your good��

TONY。  I wish you'd let me and my good alone�察�then。  Snubbing this way when I'm in spirits。  If I'm to have any good�察�let it come of itself�察�not to keep dinging it�察�dinging it into one so。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  That's false�察�I never see you when you're in spirits。  No�察�Tony�察�you then go to the alehouse or kennel。  I'm never to be delighted with your agreeable wild notes�察�unfeeling monster��

TONY。  Ecod� �mamma�察�your own notes are the wildest of the two。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  Was ever the like�拭 �But I see he wants to break my heart�察�I see he does。

HASTINGS。  Dear madam�察�permit me to lecture the young gentleman a little。  I'm certain I can persuade him to his duty。

MRS。 HARDCASTLE。  Well�察�I must retire。  Come�察�Constance�察�my love。  You see�察�Mr。 Hastings�察�the wretchedness of my situation�此�was ever poor woman so plagued with a dear sweet�察�pretty�察�provoking�察�undutiful boy�拭 。�Exeunt MRS。 HARDCASTLE and MISS NEVILLE。��

TONY。  ��Singing。��  ;There was a young man riding by�察�and fain would have his will。  Rang do didlo dee。;Don't mind her。  Let her cry。  It's the comfort of her heart。  I have seen her and sister cry over a book for an hour together�察�and they said they liked the book the better the more it made them cry。

HASTINGS。  Then you're no friend to the ladies�察�I find�察�my pretty young gentleman��

TONY。  That's as I find 'um。

HASTINGS。  Not to her of your mother's choosing�察�I dare answer�拭 �And yet she appears to me a pretty well´tempered girl。

TONY。  That's because you don't know her as well as I。  Ecod� �I know every inch about her�察�and there's not a more bitter cantankerous toad in all Christendom。

HASTINGS。  ��Aside。��  Pretty encouragement this for a lover��

TONY。  I have seen her since the height of that。  She has as many tricks as a hare in a thicket�察�or a colt the first day's breaking。

HASTINGS。  To me she appears sensible and silent。

TONY。  Ay�察�before company。  But when she's with her playmate�察�she's as loud as a hog in a gate。

HASTINGS。  But there is a meek modesty about her that charms me。

TONY。  Yes�察�but curb her never so little�察�she kicks up�察�and you're flung in a ditch。

HASTINGS。  Well�察�but you must allow her a little beauty。Yes�察�you must allow her some beauty。

TONY。  Bandbox�  �She's all a made´up thing�察�mun。  Ah� �could you but see Bet Bouncer of these parts�察�you might then talk of beauty。  Ecod�察�she has two eyes as black as sloes�察�and cheeks as broad and red as a pulpit cushion。  She'd make two of she。

HASTINGS。  Well�察�what say you to a friend that would take this bitter bargain off your hands��

TONY。  Anon。

HASTINGS。  Would you thank him that would take Miss Neville�察�and leave you to happiness and your dear Betsy��

TONY。  Ay�察�but where is there such a friend�察�for who would take her��

HASTINGS。  I am he。  If you but assist me�察�I'll engage to whip her off to France�察�and you shall never hear more of her。

TONY。  Assist you�  �Ecod I will�察�to the last drop of my blood。  I'll clap a pair of horses to your chaise that shall trundle you off in a twinkling�察�and may be get you a part of her fortin beside�察�in jewels�察�that you little dream of。

HASTINGS。  My dear 'squire�察�this looks like a lad of spirit。

TONY。  Come along�察�then�察�and you shall see more of my spirit before you have done with me。

��Singing。�� ;We are the boys That fears no noise Where the thundering cannons roar。;  ��Exeunt。��



ACT THE THIRD。


Enter HARDCASTLE�察�alone。


HARDCASTLE。  What could my old friend Sir Charles mean by recommending his son as the modestest young man in town�拭 �To me he appears the most impudent piece of brass that ever spoke with a tongue。  He has taken possession of the easy chair by the fire´side already。  He took off his boots in the parlour�察�and desired me to see them taken care of。  I'm desirous to know how his impudence affects my daughter。  She will certainly be shocked at it。


Enter MISS HARDCASTLE�察�plainly dressed。


HARDCASTLE。  Well�察�my Kate�察�I see you have changed your dress�察�as I bade you�察�and yet�察�I believe�察�there was no great occasion。

MISS HARDCASTLE。  I find such a pleasure�察�sir�察�in obeying your commands�察�that I take care to observe them without ever debating their propriety。

HARDCASTLE。  And yet�察�Kate�察�I sometimes give you some cause�察�particularly when I recommended my modest gentleman to you as a lover to´day。

MISS HARDCASTLE。  You taught me to expect something extraordinary�察�and I find the original exceeds the description。

HARDCASTLE。  I was never so
