who is, my Daughter; and the other two were drawn for her younger
Sisters. And see, Sir, (persu'd he) here they come, following their
Mother: At which Words Sir _Lucius_ was oblig'd to divorce his Eyes from
the charming Shadow, and make his Compliments to them; which were no
sooner over than Dinner was serv'd in, where the young Knight eat as
heartily as he could, considering he sate just opposite to it, and in
Sight of the two Ladies, who were now exactly like his own Wife, though
not so very beautiful.

The Table being uncover'd, Sir _Lucius_ desir'd to know why Sir
_Francis_ said, He doubted whether the Original of that Picture were yet
his Daughter? To which the Mother return'd (big with Sorrow, which was
seen in her Tears) That her Husband had spoken but too rightly: For

from her. How, Madam! three Years, (cry'd Sir _Lucius_) I believe I can
shew your Ladiship a dear Acquaintance of mine, so wonderfully like that
Picture, that I am almost perswaded she is the very Original; only

_Lucius_) I will repeat my Trouble to you with her, in an Hour at

left 'em and return'd to his Lady, whom he found ready dress'd, as he
wish'd he might. Madam, (said he) where are your Father and Mother?
I know not, yet, my Dear, she reply'd. Well, (return'd he) we will
expect 'em, or send for 'em hither at Night; in the mean Time I have
engag'd to bring you with me to Sir _Francis Fairname_ and his Lady,
