Door meets the Butler._) How now, what do you want? _Butl._ My Master order'd me to lay the Cloth here for his Supper. _Isab._ Ruin'd past Redemption-- (_Aside._ _Patch._ You mistake sure; what shall we do? _Isab._ I thought he expected Company to Night--Oh! poor _Charles_--Oh! unfortunate _Isabinda_. _Butl._ I thought so too Madam, but I suppose he has alter'd his Mind. (_Lays the Cloth, and Exit._ _Isab._ The Letter is the Cause; this heedless Action has undone me: Fly and fasten the Closet-window, which will give _Charles_ notice to retire. Ha, my Father, oh! Confusion. _Enter Sir _Jealous_._ Sir _Jeal._ Hold, hold, _Patch_, whither are you going. I'll have no body stir out of the Room till after Supper. _Patch._ Sir, I was only going to reach your easie Chair--Oh! wretched Accident! Sir _Jeal._ I'll have no body stir out of the Room. I don't want my easie Chair. _Isab._ What will be the event of this? (_Aside._ Sir _Jeal._ Hark ye Daughter, do you know this Hand? _Isab._ As I suspected--Hand do you call it, Sir?

Speak. _Patch._ Why, Sir, it is a Charm for the Tooth-ach--I have worn it this seven Year, 'twas given me by an Angel for ought I know, when I was raving with the Pain; for no body knew from whence he came, nor whither he went, he charg'd me never to open it, lest some dire Vengeance befal me, and Heaven knows what will be the Event. Oh! cruel Misfortune that I should drop it, and you should open it--If you had not open'd it-- _Isab._ Excellent Wench. (_Aside._ Sir _Jeal._ Pox of your Charms, and Whims for me, if that be all 'tis well enough; there, there, burn it, and I warrant you no Vengeance will follow. _Patch._ So, all's right again thus far.
