That's the sign。     Drive up the yard�察�and call stoutly about you。

                     ACT THE SECOND。 



       SCENEAn old´fashioned House。 

       Enter HARDCASTLE�察�followed by three or four awkward Servants。 

       HARDCASTLE。           Well�察�I hope you are perfect in the table exercise I 

have been teaching you these three days。             You all know your posts and 

your   places�察  �and   can   show   that   you   have   been   used   to   good   company�察�

without ever stirring from home。 

     OMNES。       Ay�察�ay。 

    HARDCASTLE。             When company comes you are not to pop out and 

stare�察�and then run in again�察�like frightened rabbits in a warren。 

     OMNES。       No�察�no。 

    HARDCASTLE。             You�察 �Diggory�察  �whom  I   have   taken   from  the   barn�察�

are   to  make    a  show   at  the  side´table�察  �and  you�察  �Roger�察  �whom   I   have 

advanced   from  the   plough�察  �are   to   place   yourself   behind   my  chair。  But 

you're not to stand so�察�with your hands in your pockets。            Take your hands 

from your pockets�察�Roger�察�and from your head�察�you blockhead you。                    See 

how Diggory carries his hands。          They're a little too stiff�察�indeed�察�but that's 

no great matter。 

    DIGGORY。         Ay�察�mind how I hold them。          I learned to hold my hands 

this way when I was upon drill for the militia。          And so being upon drill´ 

´ 

    HARDCASTLE。             You must not be so talkative�察�Diggory。           You must 

be   all   attention   to   the   guests。 You   must   hear   us   talk�察  �and   not   think   of 

talking�察�you must see us drink�察�and not think of drinking�察�you must see us 

eat�察�and not think of eating。 

    DIGGORY。         By   the   laws�察  �your   worship�察  �that's   parfectly   unpossible。 

Whenever Diggory sees yeating going forward�察�ecod�察�he's always wishing 

for a mouthful himself。 

    HARDCASTLE。            Blockhead�       �Is   not   a   belly´full   in   the   kitchen   as 

good     as  a  belly´full   in  the  parlour�拭    �Stay    your   stomach    with    that 

reflection。 

    DIGGORY。         Ecod�察�I thank your worship�察�I'll make a shift to stay my 

stomach with a slice of cold beef in the pantry。

    HARDCASTLE。            Diggory�察 �you are too talkative。Then�察�if I   happen 

to say a good thing�察�or tell a good story at table�察�you must not all burst out 

a´laughing�察�as if you made part of the company。 

    DIGGORY。         Then ecod your worship must not tell the story of Ould 

Grouse in the gun´room�此�I can't help laughing at thathe� �he� �he��for the 

soul of me。     We have laughed at that these twenty yearsha� �ha� �ha� �

    HARDCASTLE。            Ha�    �ha�  �ha�  �The    story   is  a  good  one。   Well�察�

honest Diggory�察�you may laugh at thatbut still remember to be attentive。 

Suppose one of the company should call for a glass of wine�察�how will you 

behave�拭    �A  glass   of   wine�察  �sir�察  �if   you   please   ��to   DIGGORY��。Eh�察  �why 

don't you move�拭�

    DIGGORY。        Ecod�察�your worship�察�I never have courage till I see the 

eatables and drinkables brought upo' the table�察�and then I'm as bauld as a 

lion。 

    HARDCASTLE。           What�察�will nobody move�拭�

    FIRST SERVANT。          I'm not to leave this pleace。 

    SECOND SERVANT。             I'm sure it's no pleace of mine。 

    THIRD SERVANT。            Nor mine�察�for sartain。 

    DIGGORY。        Wauns�察�and I'm sure it canna be mine。 

    HARDCASTLE。           You numskulls� �and so while�察�like your betters�察�you 

are quarrelling for places�察�the guests must be starved。         O you dunces�       �I 

find I must begin all over againBut don't I hear a coach drive into the 

yard�拭   �To your posts�察�you blockheads。         I'll go in the mean time and give 

my     old    friend's   son   a   hearty    reception    at   the   gate。     ��Exit 

HARDCASTLE。�А�

    DIGGORY。        By the elevens�察�my pleace is gone quite out of my head。 

    ROGER。       I know that my pleace is to be everywhere。 

    FIRST SERVANT。          Where the devil is mine�拭�

    SECOND SERVANT。             My pleace is to be nowhere at all�察�and so I'ze 

go about my business。        ��Exeunt Servants�察�running about as if frightened�察�

different ways。�А�

       Enter Servant with candles�察�showing in MARLOW and HASTINGS。 

       SERVANT。      Welcome�察�gentlemen�察�very welcome�            �This way。 

    HASTINGS。         After   the   disappointments   of   the   day�察  �welcome   once

more�察�Charles�察�to the comforts of a clean room and a good fire。                Upon my 

word�察�a very well´looking house�察�antique but creditable。 

     MARLOW。          The usual fate of a large mansion。           Having first ruined 

the master by good housekeeping�察�it at last comes to levy contributions as 

an inn。 

     HASTINGS。         As   you   say�察  �we   passengers   are to   be   taxed   to   pay  all 

these fineries。     I have often seen a good sideboard�察�or a marble chimney´ 

piece�察   �though     not   actually    put    in  the   bill�察  �inflame    a   reckoning 

confoundedly。 

     MARLOW。          Travellers�察   �George�察   �must    pay   in  all  places�此 �the   only 

difference is�察�that in good inns you pay dearly for luxuries�察�in bad inns you 

are fleeced and starved。 

     HASTINGS。          You   have   lived   very   much   among   them。     In   truth�察  �I 

have been often surprised�察�that you who have seen so much of the world�察�

with your natural good sense�察�and your many opportunities�察�could never 

yet acquire a requisite share of assurance。 

     MARLOW。          The Englishman's malady。           But tell me�察�George�察�where 

could I have learned that assurance you talk of�拭            �My life has been chiefly 

spent   in   a   college   or   an   inn�察  �in   seclusion   from   that   lovely   part   of   the 

creation that chiefly teach men confidence。             I don't know that I was ever 

familiarly   acquainted   with   a   single   modest   womanexcept   my   mother 

But among females of another class�察�you know 

     HASTINGS。          Ay�察  �among     them    you   are   impudent     enough     of  all 

conscience。 

     MARLOW。          They are of US�察�you know。 

     HASTINGS。         But   in   the   company   of   women   of   reputation   I   never 

saw  such   an idiot�察 �such  a   trembler�察  �you   look   for   all the   world   as   if   you 

wanted an opportunity of stealing out of the room。                MARLOW。          Why�察�

man�察�that's because I do want to steal out of the room。             Faith�察�I have often 

formed a resolution to break the ice�察�and rattle away at any rate。                  But I 

don't know how�察�a single glance from a pair of fine eyes has totally overset 

my resolution。       An impudent fellow may counterfeit modesty�察�but I'll be 

hanged if a modest man can ever counterfeit impudence。 

     HASTINGS。         If you could but say half the fine things to them that I

maker 

     MARLOW。          Why�察�George�察�I can't say fine things to them�察�they freeze�察�

they petrify  me。      They   may  talk of a   comet�察 �or   a   burning   mountain�察 �or 

some   such   bagatelle�察  �but�察  �to   me�察  �a   modest   woman�察  �drest   out   in   all   her 

finery�察�is the most tremendous object of the whole creation。 

     HASTINGS。         Ha�     �ha�  �ha�   �At    this  rate�察 �man�察  �how    can   you   ever 

expect to marry�拭�

     MARLOW。          Never�察  �unless�察  �as   among   kings   and   princes�察  �my   bride 

were to be courted by proxy。          If�察�indeed�察�like an Eastern bridegroom�察�one 

were to be introduced to a wife he never saw before�察�it might be endured。 

But to go through all the terrors of a formal courtship�察�together with the 

episode   of   aunts�察  �grandmothers�察 �and   cousins�察  �and   at   last   to blurt   out   the 

broad staring question of�察�Madam�察�will you marry me�拭      �
