_Collonel_, to coquet, and flirt and fleer, and plague half Mankind, only
because they like her, may be what you call a fine Lady, but in my mind
she has more fantastical Airs than a Kettle-Drummer. [_Exit._

for a Room?

[_A noise of Drawers_.] Coming, coming, coming, Sir.

gone for a Soldier--What Wine are you for Gentlemen?
