ANGELICA, VALENTINE, SCANDAL.
SCAN. Jeremy, follow Tattle.
ANG. Mr. Scandal, I only stay till my maid comes, and because I had a
mind to be rid of Mr. Tattle.
SCAN. Madam, I am very glad that I overheard a better reason which you
gave to Mr. Tattle; for his impertinence forced you to acknowledge a
kindness for Valentine, which you denied to all his sufferings and my
solicitations. So I’ll leave him to make use of the discovery, and your
ladyship to the free confession of your inclinations.
ANG. O heav’ns! You won’t leave me alone with a madman?
SCAN. No, madam; I only leave a madman to his remedy.
