beginning to grow late,
_Brightnel_ would have been gone, but the pretended Mrs. _Pierpoint_ would
by no means suffer him to go, till he had supp'd, which was a getting ready
on Purpose for him, by which means he was drawn to to stay till supper was
ready; and to make the time seem less tedious, the old Bawd calls for a
Pack of Cards, and sets her pretended Daughter and he to play a Game of
_Cribbage_ together. At last Supper was brought in, and her Servants
waiting upon them at Table, like a Person of Quality; Mrs. _Pierpoint_
every now and then Drinking a Health, sometimes to Mr. _Hanwel_, and by and
by to all their Friends at _Hargrave_; then to his good Health, which
