hift for my self, seize all her Money and Jewels, of which I have the Keys; and if Seignior Mountebank keeps his Word, be transform'd to Youth and Beauty again, and undo this _La Nuche_ at her own Trade-- [Goes in. SCENE II. _The Street._ Enter _Willmore_, _Beaumond_, Chair following. _Will._ Set down the Chair; you're now within call, I'll to the Garden-Door, and see if any Lady Bright appear-- Dear _Beaumond_, stay here a minute, and if I find occasion, I'll give you the Word. _Beau._ 'Tis hard by my Lodgings; if you want Conveniences, I have the Key of the Back-way through the Garden, whither you may carry your Mistress. _Will._ I thank thee-- let me first secure my Woman.
