Scene changes to the Garden.
Enter Sir John Melvil, and Lovewell.
Lovew. In my room this morning? Impoſſible.
Sir John. Before five this morning, I promiſe you.
Lovew. On what occaſion?

Lovew. Pooh! prithee! ridiculous!
Sir John. Come now! which was it? Miſs Sterling's maid? a pretty little rogue!—or Miſs Fanny's Abigail? a ſweet ſoul too!—or—
Lovew. Nay, nay, leave trifling, and tell me your buſineſs.
Sir John. Well, but where was you, Lovewell?
Lovew. Walking—writing—what ſignifies where I was?
Sir John. Walking! yes, I dare ſay. It rained as hard as it could pour. Sweet refreſhing ſhowers to walk in! No, no, Lovewell.—Now would I give twenty pounds to know which of the maids
Lovew. But your buſineſs! your buſineſs, Sir John!
Sir
