_Man._ Then take for ever my heart, and this with it;--[_Gives her the cabinet_] for 'twas given to you before, and my heart was before your due: I only beg leave to dispose of these few.--Here, madam, I never yet left my wench unpaid. [_Takes some of the jewels, and offers them to_ OLIVIA; _she strikes them down_: Lord PLAUSIBLE _and_ NOVEL _take them up._ _Oliv._ So it seems, by giving her the cabinet. _L. Plau._ These pendants appertain to your most faithful humble servant. _Nov._ And this locket is mine; my earnest for love, which she never paid: therefore my own again. _Wid._ By what law, sir, pray?--Cousin Olivia, a word. What, do they make a seizure on your goods and chattels, _vi et armis_? Make your demand, I say, and bring your trover, bring your trover. I'll follow the law for you. _Oliv._ And I my revenge. [_Exit._ _Man._ [_To_ VERNISH.] But 'tis, my friend, in your consideration most, that I would have returned part of your wife's portion; for 'twere hard to take all from thee, since thou hast paid so dear for't, in being such a rascal. Yet thy wife is a fortune without a portion; and thou art a man of that extraordinary merit in villany, the world and fortune can never desert thee, though I do; therefore be not melancholy. Fare you well, sir.--[_Exit_ VERNISH _doggedly._] Now, madam, I beg your pardon [_Turning to_ FIDELIA] for lessening the present I made you; but my heart can never be lessened. This, I confess, was too small for you before; for you deserve the Indian world; and I would now go thither, out of covetousness for your sake only. _Fid._ Your heart, sir, is a present of that value, I can never make any return to't.--[_Pulling_ MANLY _from the company._] But I can give you back such a present as this, which I got by the loss of my father, a gentleman of the north, of no mean extraction, whose only child I was, therefore left me in the present possession of two thousand pounds a-year; which I left, with multitudes of pretenders, to follow you, sir; having in several public places seen you, and observed your actions thoroughly, with admiration, when you were too much in love to take notice of mine, which yet was but too visible. The name of my family is Grey, my other Fidelia. The rest of my story you shall know when I have fewer auditors. _Man._ Nay, now, madam, you have taken from me all power of making you any compliment on my part; for I was going to tell you, that for your sake only I would quit the unknown pleasure of a retirement; and rather stay in this ill world of ours still, though odious to me, than give you more frights again at sea, and make again too great a venture there, in you alone. But if I should tell you now all this, and that your virtue (since greater than I thought any was in the world) had now reconciled me to't, my friend here would say, 'tis your estate that hast made me friends with the world.
