[_To them_] FOIBLE.

LADY. Come, come, Foible—I had forgot my nephew will be here before

FOIB. Mr. Witwoud and Mr. Petulant are come to dine with your ladyship.

LADY. Oh dear, I can’t appear till I am dressed. Dear Marwood, shall I

be free with you again, and beg you to entertain ’em? I’ll make all

imaginable haste. Dear friend, excuse me.
