male · dramatic · 1:21 min

I don't know that, madam: pray, who is the gentleman? (HARRIET: The gentleman is my very particular friend, sir.) By my body, here is rare work going on.-- (Aside.) --Well, madam, as the gentleman is your very particular friend; and as his love --friendship, I mean, is so great, that you dare to entrust all your secrets with him; I shall acquaint you, that, as you and my son have long entertained a partiality for each other, and being desirous to fulfill all my engagements, as well as to make him happy, I have wrote for him to come and conclude the marriage; but, for very good reasons, I have this day determined to forbid the bans; and Mr. Trueman says, he is very willing too. (LOVEYET: Hah!--what can all this mean?) You must know, madam, your father has us'd me very ill; and--to be plain with you, madam, your familiarity with this person, convinces me you wou'd have play'd the fool with my son, without my breaking the match. Ugh, ugh.
