     MARLOW。          ��To HARDCASTLE�察�who looks at them with surprise。�� 

Sir�察�he's very right�察�and it's my way too。 

     HARDCASTLE。             Sir�察 �you   have    a  right  to  command      here。   Here�察�

Roger�察�bring us the bill of fare for to´night's supper�此�I believe it's drawn 

outYour   manner�察  �Mr。   Hastings�察 �puts   me   in   mind   of   my   uncle�察  �Colonel 

Wallop。      It was a saying of his�察�that no man was sure of his supper till he 

had eaten it。 

     HASTINGS。         ��Aside。��     All upon the high rope�         �His uncle a colonel� �

we shall soon hear of his mother being a justice of the peace。                   But let's 

hear the bill of fare。 

     MARLOW。          ��Perusing。��      What's here�拭     �For the first course�察�for the 

second   course�察  �for   the   dessert。    The   devil�察  �sir�察  �do   you   think   we   have 

brought down a whole Joiners' Company�察�or the corporation of Bedford�察�to 

eat up such a supper�拭        �Two or three little things�察�clean and comfortable�察�

will do。 

     HASTINGS。         But let's hear it。 

     MARLOW。          ��Reading。��      For   the   first   course�察  �at   the   top�察  �a   pig   and 

prune sauce。 

     HASTINGS。         Damn your pig�察�I say。 

     MARLOW。          And damn your prune sauce�察�say I。 

     HARDCASTLE。             And   yet�察  �gentlemen�察  �to   men   that   are   hungry�察  �pig 

with prune sauce is very good eating。 

     MARLOW。          At the bottom�察�a calf's tongue and brains。 

     HASTINGS。         Let   your   brains   be   knocked   out�察  �my   good   sir�察  �I   don't 

like them。

    MARLOW。          Or you may clap them on a plate by themselves。             I do。 

    HARDCASTLE。            ��Aside。��     Their    impudence     confounds     me。   ��To 

them。��    Gentlemen�察�you are my guests�察�make what alterations you please。 

Is there anything else you wish to retrench or alter�察�gentlemen�拭�

    MARLOW。           Item�察   �a  pork   pie�察 �a  boiled   rabbit   and   sausages�察   �a 

Florentine�察�a shaking pudding�察�and a dish of tifftafftaffety cream。 

    HASTINGS。         Confound   your   made   dishes�察  �I   shall   be   as   much   at   a 

loss   in   this  house   as  at  a  green    and   yellow   dinner    at  the  French 

ambassador's table。      I'm for plain eating。 

    HARDCASTLE。            I'm sorry�察�gentlemen�察�that I have nothing you like�察�

but if there be anything you have a particular fancy to 

    MARLOW。          Why�察�really�察�sir�察�your bill of fare is so exquisite�察�that any 

one part of it is full as good as another。         Send us what you please。         So 

much for supper。       And now to see that our beds are aired�察�and properly 

taken care of。 

    HARDCASTLE。            I entreat you'll leave that to me。      You shall not stir 

a step。 

    MARLOW。          Leave that to you�      �I protest�察�sir�察�you must excuse me�察�I 

always look to these things myself。 

    HARDCASTLE。            I must insist�察�sir�察�you'll make yourself easy on that 

head。 

    MARLOW。           You     see   I'm   resolved    on   it。  ��Aside。��      A    very 

troublesome fellow this�察�as I ever met with。 

    HARDCASTLE。             Well�察   �sir�察 �I'm  resolved   at  least  to  attend   you。 

��Aside。��    This may be modem modesty�察�but I never saw anything look so

HARDCASTLE。�А�

    HASTINGS。          ��Alone。��    So    I  find  this  fellow's  civilities  begin   to 

grow troublesome。        But who can be angry at those assiduities which are 

meant   to   please   him�拭  �Ha�   �what   do   I   see�拭�Miss   Neville�察  �by   all   that's

fortune�察   �to   what    accident�察   �am   I   to  ascribe    this  happy    meeting�拭�

HASTINGS。          Rather let me ask the same question�察�as I could never have 

hoped to meet my dearest Constance at an inn。 

     MISS NEVILLE。           An inn� �sure you mistake�此�my aunt�察�my guardian�察�

lives here。     What could induce you to think this house an inn�拭�

     HASTINGS。         My friend�察�Mr。 Marlow�察�with whom I came down�察�and I�察�

have been sent here as to an inn�察�I assure you。            A young fellow�察�whom we 

accidentally met at a house hard by�察�directed us hither。 

     MISS   NEVILLE。          Certainly   it   must   be   one   of   my   hopeful   cousin's 

tricks�察�of whom you have heard me talk so often�察�ha� �ha� �ha� �

     HASTINGS。         He   whom   your   aunt   intends   for   you�拭  �he   of   whom   I 

have such just apprehensions�拭�

     MISS NEVILLE。            You have nothing to fear from him�察�I assure you。 

You'd   adore   him�察  �if   you   knew   how   heartily   he   despises   me。   My   aunt 

knows it too�察�and has undertaken to court me for him�察�and actually begins 

to think she has made a conquest。 

     HASTINGS。            Thou      dear   dissembler�        �You     must     know�察   �my 

Constance�察�I have just seized this happy opportunity of my friend's visit 

here to get admittance into the family。            The horses that carried us down 

are now fatigued with their journey�察�but they'll soon be refreshed�察�and then�察�

if   my   dearest   girl   will   trust   in   her   faithful   Hastings�察  �we   shall   soon   be 

landed   in   France�察  �where   even   among   slaves   the   laws   of   marriage   are 

respected。 

     MISS   NEVILLE。          I   have   often   told   you�察  �that   though   ready  to   obey 

you�察  �I   yet   should   leave   my   little   fortune   behind   with   reluctance。  The 

greatest part of it was left me by my uncle�察�the India director�察�and chiefly 

consists in jewels。       I have been for some time persuading my aunt to let 

me wear them。         I fancy I'm very near succeeding。           The instant they are 

put into my possession�察�you shall find me ready to make them and myself 

yours。 

     HASTINGS。          Perish   the   baubles�    �Your   person   is   all   I   desire。 In 

the   mean   time�察  �my   friend   Marlow   must   not   be   let   into   his   mistake。 I 

know the strange reserve of his temper is such�察�that if abruptly informed of 

it�察 �he   would     instantly   quit  the   house    before    our  plan    was   ripe   for 

execution。

    MISS      NEVILLE。      But    how   shall  we   keep   him   in  the  deception�拭�

Miss Hardcastle is just returned from walking�察�what if we still continue to 

deceive him��This�察�this way��They confer。�А�

       Enter MARLOW。 

       MARLOW。        The assiduities of these good people teaze me beyond 

bearing。    My host seems to think it ill manners to leave me alone�察�and so 

he claps not only himself�察�but his old´fashioned wife�察�on my back。              They 

talk of coming to sup with us too�察�and then�察�I suppose�察�we are to run the 

gantlet through all the rest of the family。What have we got here�拭�

    HASTINGS。          My    dear   Charles�    �Let   me   congratulate    you��The 

most fortunate accident��Who do you think is just alighted�拭�

    MARLOW。          Cannot guess。 

    HASTINGS。         Our mistresses�察�boy�察�Miss Hardcastle and Miss Neville。 

Give me leave to introduce Miss Constance Neville to your acquaintance。 

Happening to dine in the neighbourhood�察�they called on their return to take 

fresh horses here。     Miss Hardcastle has just stept into the next room�察�and 

will be back in an instant。     Wasn't it lucky�拭    �eh� �

    MARLOW。           ��Aside。��      I   have    been    mortified    enough    of   all 

conscience�察�and here comes something to complete my embarrassment。 

    HASTINGS。         Well�察   �but  wasn't   it  the  most  fortunate   thing   in  the 

world�拭�

    MARLOW。          Oh� �yes。     Very fortunatea most joyful encounterBut 

our    dresses�察 �George�察   �you   know    are   in  disorderWhat     if  we  should 

postpone the happiness till to´morrow��To´morrow at her own houseIt 

will be every bit as convenientand rather more respectfulTo´morrow let 

it be。   ��Offering to go。�А�

    MISS NEVILLE。           By no means�察�sir。      Your ceremony will displease 

her。   The disorder of your dress will show the ardour of your impatience。 

Besides�察�she knows you are in the house�察�and will permit you to see her。 

    MARLOW。          O�    �the  devil�  �how    shall  I  support   it�拭 �Hem�     �hem� �

Hastings�察�you must not go。        You are to assist me�察�you know。          I shall be 

confoundedly ridiculous。       Yet�察�hang it�    �I'll take courage。    Hem� �

    HASTINGS。         Pshaw�察  �man�   �it's   but   the   first   plunge�察  �and   all's   over。 

She's but a woman�察�you know。
