Scene 8.
Enter Lucia.
Joll. Why how now Lucia? how come you from your Chamber?
Luc.I hope you did not mean me a Prisoner, Sir, since now you'r satisfy'd sufficiently that you'r not Poison'd?
Joll.I am not Dead, that's true. But I may thank Heaven, and a strong Constitution for't; you did your weak endeavours; however, for the honour of our Family, and for your Father's sake, Ile speak no more o' that, but I could wish, for the security of my Life hereafter, that you would go home to your Husband, for they say you'r marri'd Niece this day without my knowledge— Nay,—I'm content,—go home to him when you please, you shall ha' your thousand Pounds.
Trum. s.Heark you, Colonel, she should not have a groat of e'em, not a groat; she can't recover't by Law, I know the Will.
Luc.I marry'd Sir? 'tis the first news I've heard of't.
