SCENE I. Lady Goodbody, Miss Martin, and Hannah, Sir John Hazelwood, Worshipton, and Amaryllis, discovered sitting by a table, with wine and glasses, &c. before them.
LADY GOODBODY.
But indeed, my dear Sir John, you ought to marry.
SIR JOHN HAZELWOOD.
Indeed, my dear Lady Goodbody, I can't see that I am in duty bound so to do.
LADY GOODBODY.
Ah, but you are tho'! It would have made your good worthy grandmother so happy to have seen children of yours growing up to preserve the honours of the family.
SIR JOHN HAZELWOOD.
It is too late now to think of pleasing my grandmother after she has been twenty years in her grave: your ladyship must offer some other argument to convince me.
