I'd do any thing to
be reveng'd on him, _cry'd the young Lady with some eagerness_: And do but
tell me how, and Keep my Counsel, and I'll so well reward you for your
Pains, that you shall say I'm grateful.--_Then Madam_, says the Bawd, _as
soon as your Husband comes to Town, before he comes to know of it, send one
to tell him that you must needs speak with him about earnest Business, and
when he's come, tell him that you expect your Husband the next day; and
therefore beg the Favour of him to let you have his Company that Night, and
as an Earnest of your Love to him, & that he should not think you

keep but my Counsel, and you shall see my Vengeance on this ungrateful
Wretch, and with how just a Retribution I shall use him for his intended
Villany. And that you may be sensible you have not lost your Labour, accept
of this_; and therewithal she put Ten Guineas in her hand, and promis'd her
a further Token of her Gratitude: And so dismist her.--The Bawd was well
pleas'd with the Mornings Work she'd made; and finding that the Goldsmith's
Wife was like to be the better Customer, she hugg'd her self for her
contrivance, and her Treachery to the Cully Beau.

That Afternoon the _Wrathful Lady_ receiv'd a Letter from her Husband, that
