RecitativeNICK
Master, are you alone?
TOM
And sick at heart. What is it?
NICK
(He shows the poster)
Do you know this lady?
NICK
Baba the Turk!
I have not visited St. Giles' fair as yet.
They say brave warriors who
never flinched at the sound of musketry
have swooned after a mere glimpse of her.
Is such a thing possible in nature?
NICK
Two noted physicians have sworn
that she is no impostor.
Would you go see her?
TOM
Nick, I know that manner of yours.
You have some scheme afoot.
Come, sir, out with it!
NICK
Consider her picture.
TOM
Would you see me turned to stone?
NICK
Do you desire her?
TOM
Like the gout or the falling sickness.
NICK
Are you obliged to her?
TOM
Heaven forbid.
NICK
Then marry her.
TOM
Have you taken leave of your senses?
