_ ACT V - SCENE VI
SCENE VI. A Street.
[Enter YOUNG LOVEYET.]
I wish I could find that fellow;--I cannot think he has been treacherous;--but it is very strange, neither he nor my man have returned yet:--I am tired of seeking Frankton too;--since he made free to call at Harriet's for me, I think I will go to Miss Airy's for him: they say she lives near by.
[Enter HUMPHRY.]
--Well, sir, what have you done with the trunk?
HUMPHRY.
Why, what you told me, to be sure. I've been a making
your man Cuffy drunk, with some of the money you give me;
but he's 'most sober now.
LOVEYET.
Did you see Mr. Frankton?
HUMPHRY.
No; but I carried the trunk to his lodgings though:
I was just a going to Mr. Airy's, to see if I cou'dn't find you there.
LOVEYET.
Mr. Airy's?
HUMPHRY.
Aye,--where Mr. Frankton lodges; number two
hundred and twenty-one;--there it is before your eyes.
LOVEYET.
That is number one hundred and twenty-two;
--you did not carry it there, I hope.
HUMPHRY.
Yes I did.--Why isn't that the place?
LOVEYET.
Confound your dull brains!--Did you not enquire who liv'd there?
HUMPHRY.
Yes, Mr. Airy lives there.
LOVEYET.
What a strange circumstance!--You are sure Mr. Airy lives there.
HUMPHRY.
Sure and sartin;--why I see the young lady you're a going to be married to, and I give her the trunk; for I think the sarvint said how Mr. Frankton lodg'd there.--I hope there's no harm done.
LOVEYET.
I hope so too;--I must step in, and see; but this
is the last time I shall send you with a message.
[Goes in.]
HUMPHRY.
Like enough, for I'm a going home in the country to-morrow.
