Sir Harry. Indeed it did. Your welcome is a subject I cannot use too oft; welcome again. I am sorry you this night must sup alone, For I am elsewhere called about some business, Concerning what I know not. Hours run on-- I must to Hogsdon; high time I were gone. [_Exit_. Old Chartley. Perhaps to the Wise-woman’s; she may tell me The fortunes of my son. This accident Hath bred in me suspicion and strange fears. I will not sup alone, but I protest, ’Mongst some this night I’ll play the intruding guest. [_Exit with_ Serving-men. SCENE II.--_The Principal Room in the_ Wise-woman’s _House, leading to several small rooms, all of which look into it_. _Enter the_ Wise-woman, Sencer _as a_ Serving-man, Luce _and her_ Father, _and 2nd_ Luce _in_ Boy’s _clothes_. Wise-woman. But will Sir Harry come? Sencer. Presume he will, And Chartley too. Luce’s Father. I’ll have the knave by the ears. Luce. Nay, patience, sir; leave your revenge to me. _Enter_ Boyster. Boyster. Grannam, I am come according to promise. Wise-woman. And welcome to the best hole that I have in Hogsdon. Boyster. Good even. Luce. Thanks, sir, a good even may it prove, That each may reap the fruits of their own love! 2nd Luce. That shall be my prayer too. Boyster. Come, what shall’s do? Wise-woman. Withdraw; I’ll place you all in several rooms, Where sit, see, but say nothing. [_They withdraw. Exeunt_ Wise-woman _and 2nd_ Luce. _Enter_ Taber, _ushering_ Gratiana. Taber. Here, sweet mistress; I know the place well ever since I was here to know my fortune. Gratiana. Call me some half an hour hence. [_Exit_ Taber. _Re-enter the_ Wise-woman _and 2nd_ Luce. Wise-woman. Your ladyship is most lovingly welcome. A low stool for the gentlewoman, boy. I made bold to send to you to take view of such a piece of work as I presume you have seldom seen the like. Gratiana. Of whose doing, I pray? Wise-woman. A friend of yours and mine. Please you withdraw, I’ll bring you to’t. 2nd Luce. Mistress! Wise-woman. One calls, sweet lady; I shall do you wrong, But pray you think my little stay not long. [Gratiana _withdraws, exeunt the others_. SCENE III.--_An Inner Room in the same_. _Enter_ Sencer, Sir Harry, _and_ Luce. Sencer. Here, sir, in this retiring chamber. Sir Harry. Gramercy, friend. How now? what’s here to do? A pretty wench and a close chamber too! Luce. That you have so much graced my mother’s house With your desirèd presence, worthy knight, Receive a poor maid’s thanks. Who’s there? a chair And cushion for Sir Harry. Sir Harry. Thanks, most fair. Luce. Please you but a few minutes here to stay, Till my return, I’ll not be long away. Sencer. The gentlewoman will wait on you by and by, sir. [_Exeunt_ Luce _and_ Sencer. Sir Harry. And I’ll attend her, friend. Of all those doubts I long to know the end.
