Ay, there's the question; but no matter. At night you may know more. He waits for me at Wilson's. I told the women where to find him. (Bates: To what purpose?) To save suspicion. It looked friendly; and they thanked me. Old Jarvis was dispatched to him. (Bates: And may intreat him home.) No; he experts money from me: but I'll have none. His wife's jewels must go. Women are easy creatures, and refuse nothing where they love. Follow me to Wilson's; but besure he sees you not. You are a man of character, you know; of prudence and discretion. Wait for me in an outer room; I shall have business for you presently. Come, Sir. Let drudging fools by honesty grow great; The shorter road to riches is deceit. [ (Exeunt.) ACT II. (SCENE a gaming house, with a table, box, dice, &c.)
