A Gallant being a Suiter to a Rich Wi∣dow; when ever he went to wait upon her in the Country where she lived, he would hire one Man or other to wait up∣on him thither, and never came twice with one Man; at last the Gallant being to go into the West, came to take his leave of the Widow, and when he had done, I pray Sir, says she, give me leave to take my leave of your Man too? He asked her what she
meant by that? O, says she, there's more reason that I should take my leave of him than of you, for happily I may see you agen, but am confident I shall never see your Man agen: Why, Widow, says he, this is a great mistake in you now, for these that have waited upon me hither, are all my own Servants that I keep at Board wages, purposely to attend me and look to my Horses; and the reason why I brought not one Man twice, was because thou shouldest see that 'twas a Man of Fortune came to wooe thee, by keeping so many Servants as I do; and when we are married, my dear Widow, then thou shalt see them all together, and not before: Well Sir, says she, I believe you say truly.
