_Non_. I'll dispatch it, ere he can speak with him.
_Isa_. Whene'er he comes, he'll see what a _bona roba_ she
is grown.
_Non_. Therefore, it shall be done i'the evening.
_Isa_. It shall, my lord.
_Const_. Shall it?
[Aside.
_Isa_. Let me alone, cousin.--And to this effect she shall write
to him, that, to conform to your will, and his modesty, she desires
him to come hither alone this evening.
_Non_. Excellent wench!--I'll get my chaplain ready.
[_Exit_ NONSUCH.
_Const_. How can you hope to deceive my father?
_Isa_. If I don't, I have hard luck.
_Const_. You go so strange a way about, your bowl must be well
bias'd to come in.
_Isa_. So plain a ground, there's not the least rub in't. I'll
meet Sir Timorous in the dark; and, in your room, marry him.
_Const_. You'll be sure to provide for one.
_Isa_. You mistake me, cousin:--Oh! here's Setstone again.
_Enter_ SETSTONE.
Mr Jeweller, you must again into your devil's shape, and speak with
Loveby. But pray be careful not to be discovered.
_Set_. I warrant you, madam. I have cozened wiser men than he in
my own shape; and, if I cannot continue it in a worse, let the devil,
I make bold with, e'en make as bold with me.
_Isa_. You must guide him, by back ways, to my uncle's house, and
so to my cousin's chamber, that he may not know where he is when he
comes there.
