Re-enter Sir Level Clump.

SIR LEVEL.

My dear Sir, why do you stay behind—you who are most concerned in. this piece of good fortune? You must come out and behold it. A few hundreds—a mere trifle laid out upon it. If I could give it the form of an ancient mausoleum, it would delight you.

CHARVILLE.

Not a jot, unless you were to bury yourself under it.

[Exit the other way.

SIR LEVEL.

What is the matter? What is the matter? How can I have possibly offended him? I am sure nobody is less teasing or obtrusive than I am.[Exit.

Re-enter Charville.

CHARVILLE.

Is he gone? He will suspect something: they will all suspect. I must join them, and pretend it was only a feigned displeasure. Married, married![Exit.
