(FRANKTON: I dare say you can; you have always plenty of that.) Yes, you're right--I know what you mean; I've got it here a little, as old Mr. Scourge says. (Exeunt FRANKTON and LOVEYET.)

I hope he won't come back again for the sixth time; three times has he been in and out within the circumference of a minute.

I'm cursedly afraid, I sha'n't be able to find out her quarters. [ (Exit.)
