_Hip._ A coach and six! a coach and six, do you say? nay, then I see you are resolved to carry me away; for a coach and six, though there were not a man but the coachman with it, would carry away any young girl of my age in England:--a coach and six! _Ger._ Then you will be sure to be ready to go with me? _Hip._ What young woman of the town could ever say no to a coach and six, unless it were going into the country?--A coach and six! 'tis not in the power of fourteen years old to resist it. _Ger._ You will be sure to be ready? _Hip._ You are sure 'tis a coach and six? _Ger._ I warrant you, miss. _Hip._ I warrant you then they'll carry us merrily away:--a coach and six! _Ger._ But have you charmed your cousin the monsieur (as you said you would) that he in the mean time say nothing to prevent us? _Hip._ I warrant you. _Re-enter_ Don DIEGO; Mrs. CAUTION _pressing in after him._ _Mrs. Caut._ I will come in. _Don._ Well, I hope by this time you have given her full instructions; you have told her what and how to do, you have done all. _Ger._ We have just done indeed, sir. _Hip._ Ay, sir, we have just done, sir. _Mrs. Caut._ And I fear just undone, sir. _Ger._ D'ye hear that damned witch? [_Aside to_ HIPPOLITA. _Don._ Come, leave your censorious prating; thou hast been a false, right woman thyself in thy youth, I warrant you. _Mrs. Caut._ I right! I right! I scorn your words, I'd have you to know, and 'tis well known. I right! no, 'tis your dainty minx, that Jillflirt, your daughter here, that is right; do you see how her handkerchief is ruffled, and what a heat she's in? _Don._ She has been dancing. _Mrs. Caut._ Ay, ay, Adam and Eve's dance, or the beginning of the world; d'ye see how she pants? _Don._ She has not been used to motion. _Mrs. Caut._ Motion! motion! motion d'ye call it? no indeed, I kept her from motion till now: motion with a vengeance! _Don._ You put the poor bashful girl to the blush, you see, hold your peace. _Mrs. Caut._ 'Tis her guilt, not her modesty, marry! _Don._ Come, come, mind her not, child.--Come, master, let me see her dance now the whole dance roundly together; come, sing to her. _Ger._ Faith; we shall be discovered after all; you know I cannot sing a note, miss. [_Aside to_ HIPPOLITA. _Don._ Come, come, man. _Hip._ Indeed, father, my master's in haste now; pray let it alone till anon at night, when, you say, he is to come again, and then you shall see me dance it to the violin; pray stay till then, father. _Don._ I will not be put off so; come, begin. _Hip._ Pray, father. _Don._ Come, sing to her; come, begin. _Ger._ Pray, sir, excuse me till anon, I am in some haste. _Don._ I say, begin, I will not excuse you: come, take her by the hand, and about with her. _Mrs. Caut._ I say, he shall not take her by the hand, he shall touch her no more; while I am here, there shall be no more squeezing and tickling her palm. Good Mr. Dancing-master, stand off. [_Thrusts_ GERRARD _away._
