_Flip._ Yes, when you expect money: If you had sent me to buy a Prayer-Book, you'd have thought I had flown. _Clar._ Well, hast thou brought me any, after all? _Flip._ Yes, I have brought some. There [_Giving her a purse._] the old hag has struck off her bill, the rest is in that purse. _Clar._ 'Tis well; but take care, _Flippanta_, my husband don't suspect any thing of this; 'twould vex him, and I don't love to make him uneasy: So I would spare him these little sort of troubles, by keeping 'em from his knowledge. _Flip._ See the tenderness she has for him, and yet he's always complaining of you. _Clar._ 'Tis the nature of 'em, _Flippanta_; a husband is a growling animal. _Flip._ How exactly you define 'em! _Clar._ O! I know 'em, _Flippanta_: though I confess my poor wretch diverts me sometimes with his ill-humours. I wish he wou'd quarrel with me to-day a little, to pass away the time, for I find myself in a violent spleen. _Flip._ Why, if you please to drop yourself in his way, six to four but he scolds one rubbers with you. _Clar._ Ay, but thou know'st he's as uncertain as the wind; and if instead of quarrelling with me, he should chance to be fond, he'd make me as sick as a dog. _Flip._ If he's kind, you must provoke him; if he kisses you, spit in his face. _Clar._ Alas, when men are in the kissing fit, (like lap-dogs) they take that for a favour. _Flip._ Nay, then, I don't know what you'll do with him. _Clar._ I'll e'en do nothing at all with him----Flippanta. [_Yawning._ _Flip._ Madam. _Clar._ My hood and scarf, and a coach to the door. _Flip._ Why, whither are you going? _Clar._ I can't tell yet, but I would go spend some money, since I have it. _Flip._ Why, you want nothing that I know of. _Clar._ How aukward an objection now is that, as if a woman of education bought things because she wanted 'em. Quality always distinguishes itself; and therefore, as the mechanick people buy things, because they have occasion for 'em, you see women of rank always buy things because they have not occasion for 'em. Now, there, _Flippanta_, you see the difference between a woman that has breeding, and one that has none. O ho, here's _Araminta_ come at last. _Enter ~Araminta~._ _Clar._ Lard, what a tedious while you have let me expect you! I was afraid you were not well; how d'ye do to-day? _Aram._ As well as a woman can do, that has not slept all night. _Flip._ Methinks, Madam, you are pretty well-awake, however. _Aram._ O, 'tis not a little thing will make a woman of my vigour look drowsy. _Clar._ But, pr'ythee, what was't disturb'd you? _Aram._ Not your husband, don't trouble yourself; at least, I am not in love with him yet. _Clar._ Well remember'd, I had quite forgot that matter. I wish you much joy, you have made a noble conquest indeed.
