Scene XII.

The Way of the World

by William Congreve





[To them] WAITWELL with a box of writings.

LADY WISHFORT
O Sir Rowland! Well, rascal?

WAITWELL
What your ladyship pleases. I have brought the
black box at last, madam.

MIRABELL
Give it me. Madam, you remember your promise.

LADY WISHFORT
Ay, dear sir.

MIRABELL
Where are the gentlemen?

WAITWELL
At hand, sir, rubbing their eyes,--just risen from
sleep.

FAINALL
'Sdeath, what's this to me? I'll not wait your
private concerns.
