Scene 30.
Enter two servant-maids of the Lady Disagrees.
1 MAid.

Heaven be thanked, my Master and Lady are perfectly friends again: for she sits in his lap, and he kisses her very lovingly. Lord, what a disquietous house have we had!

Sir Humphry and his Lady make a noise within, as being fallen out again.
2 Maid.

Hark, what noise is that?

They hearken, and hear the Shovel and Tongs slung about.

Iuno bless us, I think they'l fling the house out at the windows.

The Lady calls for help.
1 Maid.

Run, run Iane, they are fallen out again, and will kill each other.

2 Maid.

O call the Chaplin to part them: for we shall never do it: Call him, call him.

Exeunt Maids in a frighted haste.
