SCENE III. A passage or outer room.
Enter Sir John Hazelwood, looking eagerly to the opposite side of the stage.
Here comes a lady, but not the one I'm in wait for.
Good morning, Miss Clodpate, I hope your morning dreams have not been unpleasant: you are early up.
I mistook the hour when the clock struck, for it is a queer-sounding clock they have here, and don't strike at all like the one we have at home.
Good young ladies like every thing at home best.
Yes indeed I do, for it was made by Mr. Pendlam, the great clock-maker in London. Isn't he clock-maker to the king?
Indeed I don't know ma'am.—But what pretty gloves you have got, Miss Clodpate; aren't they of a particular colour?
