BRISK. Sir Paul, gads-bud, you're an uncivil person, let me tell
you, and all that; and I did not think it had been in you.

SIR PAUL. O law, what's the matter now? I hope you are not angry,
Mr. Brisk.

BRISK. Deuce take me, I believe you intend to marry your daughter
yourself; you're always brooding over her like an old hen, as if she
were not well hatched, egad, he.

SIR PAUL. Good strange! Mr. Brisk is such a merry facetious
person, he, he, he. No, no, I have done with her, I have done with
her now.

BRISK. The fiddles have stayed this hour in the hall, and my Lord
Froth wants a partner, we can never begin without her.

SIR PAUL. Go, go child, go, get you gone and dance and be merry;
I'll come and look at you by and by. Where's my son Mellefont?

LADY PLYANT. I'll send him to them, I know where he is.

BRISK. Sir Paul, will you send Careless into the hall if you meet
him?

SIR PAUL. I will, I will, I'll go and look for him on purpose.
