_Don._ Nay, then we shall have it:--nephew, hold her a little, that she may not disturb 'em.--Come, now away with her. _Ger._ One, two, and a coupee.--[_Aside._] Fooled and abused-- _Mrs. Caut._ Wilt thou lay violent hands upon thy own natural aunt, wretch? [_To_ Monsieur. _Don._ Come, about with her. _Ger._ One, two, three, four, and turn round--[_Aside._] by such a piece of innocency! _Mrs. Caut._ Dost thou see, fool, how he squeezes her hand? [_To_ Monsieur. _Mons._ That won't do, aunt. _Hip._ Pray, master, have patience, and let's mind our business. _Don._ Why did you anger him then, hussy, look you? _Mrs. Caut._ Do you see how she smiles in his face, and squeezes his hand now? [_To_ Monsieur. _Mons._ Your servant, aunt.--That won't do, I say. _Hip._ Have patience, master. _Ger._ [_Aside._] I am become her sport!--[_Aloud._] One, two, three--Death! hell! and the devil! _Don._ Ay, they are three indeed!--But pray have patience. _Mrs. Caut._ Do you see how she leers upon him, and clings to him? Can you suffer it? [_To_ Monsieur. _Mons._ Ay, ay. _Ger._ One, two, three, and a slur.--Can you be so unconcerned after all? _Don._ What! is she unconcerned?--Hussy, mind your business. _Ger._ One, two, three, and turn round;--one, two, fall back--hell and damnation! _Don._ Ay, people fall back indeed into hell and damnation, Heaven knows! _Ger._ One, two, three, and your honour.--I can fool no longer! _Mrs. Caut._ Nor will I be withheld any longer, like a poor hen in her pen, while the kite is carrying away her chicken before her face. _Don._ What, have you done?--Well then, let's see her dance it now to the violin. _Mons._ Ay, ay, let's see her dance it to the violin. _Ger._ Another time, another time. _Don._ Don't you believe that, friend:--these dancing-masters make no bones of breaking their words. Did not you promise just now, I should see her dance it to the violin? and that I will too, before I stir. _Ger._ Let monsieur play then while I dance with her--she can't dance alone. _Mons._ I can't play at all; I'm but a learner:--but if you'll play, I'll dance with her. _Ger._ I can't play neither. _Don._ What! a dancing-master, and not play! _Mrs. Caut._ Ay, you see what a dancing-master he is. 'Tis as I told you, I warrant.--A dancing-master, and not play upon the fiddle! _Don._ How! _Hip._ O you have betrayed us all! If you confess that, you undo us for ever. [_Apart to_ GERRARD. _Ger._ I cannot play;--what would you have me say? [_Apart to_ HIPPOLITA. _Mons._ I vow and swear we are all undone if you cannot play. [_Apart to_ GERRARD. _Don._ What! are you a dancing-master, and cannot play? Umph-- _Hip._ He is only out of humour, sir.--Here, master, I know you will play for me yet;--for he has an excellent hand. [_She offers_ GERRARD _the violin._ _Mons._ Ay, that he has.--[_Aside._] At giving a box on the ear. _Don._ Why does he not play, then?
