Scene IV.

[To them] SERVANT.

SERVANT
Sir Sampson is coming down to wait upon you.

ANGELICA
Good-bye, uncle--call me a chair. I'll find out my aunt, and tell her she must not come home.

FORESIGHT
I'm so perplexed and vexed, I'm not fit to receive him; I shall scarce recover myself before the hour be past. Go nurse, tell Sir Sampson I'm ready to wait on him.

NURSE
Yes, sir,

FORESIGHT
Well--why, if I was born to be a cuckold, there's no more to be said--he's here already.
