e-hunter she wanted; and then tells him, that she had been at
great charge and expence to find out a Lass fit for his Purpose, But, says
she, tis such a one, That for Beauty, Birth and Breeding, is hardly to be
matched in _London_: She is indeed somewhat Coy, but I will help to Court
her for you: I protest I could have had Ten Guineas of Sir _R---- P----_ if
I would have helpt him to her: But I hate to be worse than my Word; I
promised you before, that when I could light of one fit for your Turn, I
would help you to her--Mr. _Graceless_, over-joyed at this News, and to
shew himself grateful to the old Bawd, presents her with a Guinea, before
he saw his Miss--Who being hereby incouraged, soon brings them together;
and at first sight he's mightily taken with her. But she seems very Coy,
and wou'd hardly let him salute her; Upon which the Bawd tells her, he's a
very worthy Gentleman, and one that deserves her Love. What Love can I
expect (replies the cunning Jade) from one that has a Wife already? As soon
as he has got what he desires, and taken from me, what's now my only Boast

to be always constant. And that if she would promise to be as true to him
as she shou'd always find him true to her, it wou'd be all the happiness
he'd ask.--And now, to make the Bargain firm, the Bawd engages for both
Parties, that they shall each be true to one another. And then after a
costly and expensive Match they went to Bed together; where she (instructed
by the Bawd) carried her self so cunningly that her besoted Lover thought
her as good a Maid as when she was but just come to her Teens.--And that
they might the better keep company without discovery, she must pass under
the Notion of his Sister, and he of her Brother.

And now she wheedles him with so much pretended Love, that she can have
what she will of him: and finding he was flush of Money and had a good
Estate, she won't be satisfied without her Countrey-House, which was
provided for her accordingly, facing the River-side at _Hamersmith_; and
adorn'd wi
