TRUELOVE
(Truelove is about Ana)
Anne, my dear.

ANNE
Yes, father.

TRUELOVE
Your advice is needed in the kitchen.

(She enters the house)

Tom, I have news for you.
I have spoken on your behalf
to a good friend in the City,
and he offers you a position
in his counting house.

TOM
You are too generous, sir.
You must not think me ungrateful
if I do not immediately accept
what you propose,
but I have other prospects in view.

TRUELOVE
Your reluctance to seek employment
makes me uneasy.

TOM
Be assured,
your daughter shall not marry a poor man.

TRUELOVE
So he be honest,
she may take a poor husband, if she choose.
But I am resolved
she shall never marry a lazy one.

(Truelove enters the house)

TOM
The old fool!
