Never fear, Bawldy: she has left thee enough of that behind to take care of thine own interest. Thou hadst wit enough, at least, to do thy business with her; for she came to me in good time, to the spot which I appointed.
BAWLDY.
If she kens the place, she may meet you there again, without my ganging after her. The Lord preserve us! I wadna enter that house again for twa crowns.
ANNABELLA.
Be not afraid, man: it is not to that house I would send thee; and thou shalt have two crowns for thy errand, though it be both an easy and a short one.
BAWLDY.
As for that, Madam, an it war baith lang an' hard, I wadna mind it, so as it be an errand a Christian body may do.
ANNABELLA.
A Christian body may go and speak a few words privately to Mrs. Violet Murrey's pretty maid, I should think.
