     MISS NEVILLE。           So now I'm completely ruined。 

     TONY。      Ay�察�that's a sure thing。 

     MISS      NEVILLE。        What      better   could    be   expected    from    being 

connected with such a stupid fool��and after all the nods and signs I made 

him�拭�

     TONY。      By the laws�察�miss�察�it was your own cleverness�察�and not my 

stupidity�察�that did your business。        You were so nice and so busy with your 

Shake´bags and Goose´greens�察�that I thought you could never be making 

believe。

himself merry with all our embarrassments。 

    HASTINGS。         An insensible cub。 

    MARLOW。          Replete with tricks and mischief。

    MARLOW。          As for him�察�he's below resentment。           But your conduct�察�

Mr。   Hastings�察  �requires   an   explanation。    You   knew   of   my   mistakes�察  �yet 

would not undeceive me。 

    HASTINGS。          Tortured as I am with my own disappointments�察�is this 

a time for explanations�拭      �It is not friendly�察�Mr。 Marlow。

       Enter HASTINGS and Servant。 

       HASTINGS。        You saw the old lady and Miss Neville drive off�察�you 

say�拭�

     SERVANT。        Yes�察�your honour。       They went off in a post´coach�察�and 

the   young   'squire   went   on   horseback。  They're   thirty   miles   off   by   this 

time。 

    HASTINGS。         Then all my hopes are over。 

     SERVANT。        Yes�察�sir。   Old Sir Charles has arrived。       He and the old 

gentleman of the house have been laughing at Mr。 Marlow's mistake this 

half hour。    They are coming this way。 

    HASTINGS。         Then    I  must   not  be  seen。   So   now    to  my   fruitless 

appointment at the bottom of the garden。          This is about the time。     ��Exit。�А�

       HARDCASTLE。          Ha�   �ha�   �ha�  �The   peremptory   tone   in   which   he 

sent forth his sublime commands� �

     SIR CHARLES。         And the reserve with which I suppose he treated all 

your advances。 

    HARDCASTLE。            And     yet  he  might   have   seen   something     in  me 

above a common innkeeper�察�too。 

     SIR   CHARLES。        Yes�察  �Dick�察  �but   be   mistook   you   for   an   uncommon 

innkeeper�察�ha� �ha� �ha� �

son is possessed of more than a competence already�察�and can want nothing
