Excerpt: ... WOMAN'S WILL. # Camedp. ACT I. Enter Bblmour, Belville, and Modely. Belm. Welcome to England, my friends! you have had, 1 hope, an agreeable tour i Mode. Superlatively agreeable, 1 assure you, Charles.--Nothing edifies like travelling. Why, Sir, the man who has not made the tour of Europe--Behn. Must be, according to your idea of mankind, an Idiot. Mode. No, no, not absolutely that, neither. 1 would not be too severe upon you poor fellows, whom love or necessity obliges to stay at home. But, in my opinion, the man who has not travelled--f admiring himself.J Belin. Can never be so complete a gentleman as Mr. Modely. Mode. (aside.) Egad he has it: it gives me an infinite deal of pleasure to find my merit is so conspicuous.--I would not be the trumpeter of my own importance, Charles; but the truth is, I am something different from the style of creature that I sported before my visit to Paris. Egad, I hardly know myself. Don't you perceive some alteration, eh, Charles! Belm. Considerable, Sir: your coat is shorter by about an half yard, and Belv. 'Sdeath, here comes that fop, Witling. Enter Witling. Wit. Ha! Welcome, gentlemen, welcome, I rejoic to see you. You have made a plaguy long stay. We were all in despair, egad--quite in despair--thought you would never return. You are greatly improved though, Wonderfully improved, Mr. Modely. Mode. No! Do you think so, though? Why then I'll give you a plan of our route, Mr. Witling, which 1 would advise you immediately to pursue, as 1 know of no person who stands more in need of improvement, than yourself. Wit. You are satirical, Mr. Modely, very satirical--egad, you learnt it abroad, 1 suppose--Did'nt you, Mr. Modely? Mode. Certainly, Mr. Witling, certainly. There's nothing to be learnt here, you know. Wit. True, Sir
