_Enter YOUNG LOVEYET._
I wish I could find that fellow;--I cannot think he has been
treacherous;--but it is very strange, neither he nor my man have returned
yet:--I am tired of seeking Frankton too;--since he made free to call at
Harriet's for me, I think I will go to Miss Airy's for him: they say she
lives near by. [_Enter HUMPHRY._]--Well, sir, what have you done with the
trunk?
HUMPHRY. Why, what you told me, to be sure. I've been a making your man
Cuffy drunk, with some of the money you give me; but he's 'most sober now.
LOVEYET. Did you see Mr. Frankton?
HUMPHRY. No; but I carried the trunk to his lodgings though: I was just a
going to Mr. Airy's, to see if I cou'dn't find you there.
LOVEYET. Mr. Airy's?
HUMPHRY. Aye,--where Mr. Frankton lodges; number two hundred and
twenty-one;--there it is before your eyes.
LOVEYET. That is number one hundred and twenty-two;--you did not carry it
there, I hope.
HUMPHRY. Yes I did.--Why isn't that the place?
LOVEYET. Confound your dull brains!--Did you not enquire who liv'd there?
HUMPHRY. Yes, Mr. Airy lives there.
LOVEYET. What a strange circumstance!--You are sure Mr. Airy lives there.
HUMPHRY. Sure and sartin;--why I see the young lady you're a going to be
married to, and I give her the trunk; for I think the sarvint said how Mr.
Frankton lodg'd there.--I hope there's no harm done.
LOVEYET. I hope so too;--I must step in, and see; but this is the last time
I shall send you with a message.
[_Goes in._
HUMPHRY. Like enough, for I'm a going home in the country to-morrow.
[_Exit._
