PROLOGUE, SPOKEN BY MR
3/217

[_Exit_.
_Enter a Waiter._ _Waiter_.

Sir, Squire Level's man is below, with a hare and a brace of pheasants for Mr.H.
_Mr.H._ Give the man half-a-crown, and bid him return my best respects to his master.

Presents, it seems, will find me out, with any name or no name.
_Enter 2d Waiter._ _2d Waiter._ Sir, the man that makes up the Directory is at the door.
_Mr.H._ Give him a shilling; that is what these fellows come for.
_2d Waiter._ He has sent up to know by what name your Honor will please to be inserted.
_Mr.H._ Zounds, fellow, I give him a shilling for leaving out my name, not for putting it in.

This is one of the plaguy comforts of going anonymous.
[_Exit 2d Waiter._ _Enter 3d Waiter._ _3d Waiter._ Two letters for Mr.H.

[_Exit._ _Mr.H._ From ladies (_opens them_).
