HARLEQUIN. Sir George Rustic.
[It is Momus. Devil a doubt it is also our old friend, Clown.
EGLANTINE. Welcome, my dear George, so soon again. We didn't part till six.
CLOWN. Damned if we did. A rake-helly place is London to be sure, but after
Somerset ... I tell 'ee, I likes it. I been home since, washed hands and
face! No; washed hands ... not face. Then to White's for my chocolate, and
picked up the latest smack of gossip ... the best there's been in weeks ...
good enough to come along and tell 'ee. So here we be again.
EGLANTINE. My attorney, Mr. Joseph Talon.
CLOWN. Han't we met somewhere before?
PANTALOON. It is possible, sir, but it must be a while ago.
CLOWN. I seem to know 'ee. I've got an uncle called Joey.
ALICE. You see they always nearly remember.
CLOWN. No pleasant business a-doing by the looks of you. I guess it, and
don't wonder. What was your joke as we started the cards? Man who sits to
gamble at night had better have called his attorney betimes in the morning.
EGLANTINE.
