favour and the esteem of all the Gentlemen of your Company nay Rancour himself did not hate me tho' he has the Reputation amongst you to love no body I shall not waste much time in relating to you all the fine Things which two Persons equally in Love may say to one another as often as they happen to be together you know it well enough by your own Experience I will only tell you that Mistriss Cave suspecting our private Correspondence or rather having certain Proofs of it charg'd her Daughter never to speak to me that her Daughter did not obey her and that having surpriz'd her Writing to me she us'd her so roughly both before People and in private that since that time I found no great difficulty in perswading her to consent to be stollen away I fear not to make this plain Confession to you knowing you to be as Generous as any Man and at least as Amorous as my self Destiny blush'd at these last Words of Leander who went on with his Discourse and told Destiny that he left the Company in order to put his Design in Execution that one of his Fathers Tenants promis'd him to furnish him with a Sum of Money and that he hop'd to receive some at St. Maloes from a Merchants Son his intimate Friend who was lately come to his Estate by the death of his Parents He added that by the assistance of this Friend he hop'd to go easily over into England and from thence to make his Peace with his Father without exposing to his Anger either Mistriss Angelica or her Mother whom in all probability he would prosecute with all the advantage that a Man of Wealth and Quality may take over two poor Players Destiny● made Leander sensible that by reason of his Youth and Quality his Father would certainly have Indicted Mrs. Cave for a Rape He did not endeavour to make him forget his Mistriss for he was sensible that Persons in Love are not capable to follow any Counsels but what are suggested by their Passion and are more to be pittied than to be blamed but he highly disapproved his Design of going over into England and represented to him what People might think of two young Strangers in a foreign Country the Hazards and Fatigue of a Sea-voyage the difficulty of being supplied with Money in case he should want and lastly the Attempts to which they would be exposed by Mistriss Angelica's Beauty and the Youth of both Leander did not endeavour to defend a bad Cause He ask'd once more Destiny's Pardon for having conceal'd himself so long from him and Destiny promis'd him to use all the Interest he had with Mistriss Cave to incline her to be favourable to him Moreover he told him that if he was fully resolv'd never to marry any Woman but Mistriss Angelica he ought not to leave their Company adding that in the mean time his Father might die or his Passion abate or perhaps be quite extinguish'd Oh! never never cry'd Leander Well then said Destiny to secure your Mistrisses Heart your best way is never to lose Sight of her Be a Player with us for you are not the only Man that treads the Stage when he could follow a better Employment Write to your Father make him believe you are in the Army and try to get Money from him in the mean time I will converse with you as if you were my own Brother and by that means endeavour to make you forget the indifferent Usage you receiv'd from me whilst I was unacquainted with your Quality and Merit Leander would have thrown himself at his Feet if the violent Pain he felt all over his Body from his Bruises would have let him However he return'd him Thanks in so obliging a manner and made him such hearty Protestations of Friendship that from that moment he had as great an esteem for him as one Gentleman can have for another They Discours'd afterwards which Way they should go in Search of Angelica but a great Noise interrupted their Conversation and caus'd Destiny to go down into the Kitchen where was transacting what you shall hear in the next Chapter CHAP. VI. A bloody Fight at Cuffs The Death of the Inn-keeper and other memorable Occurrences TWO Men one of which was in Black like a Country School-Master and the other in Gray who look'd like a Catch-pole laid hold of one another by the Hair and the Beard and now and then Box'd one another in a most cruel manner Both were indeed what their Habits and their Looks shew'd 'em to be He in Black the School-master of the Town Brother to the Curate and the other in Gray a Bailiff of the same Town and Brother to the Inn-keeper This Inn-keeper was then in a Chamber next to the Kitchen ready to give up the Ghost being Sick of a violent Feaver which so disorder'd his Senses that he broke his Head against the Wall and this Wound join'd to his Distemper brought him so low that when his Frenzy left him he was fain to part with Life which perhaps he regretted less than his ill-gotten Money He had been a long time a Soldier and was at last come home loaden with Years and so light of Honesty that he might be said to have less of it than Money altho' he was extraordinary Poor But because Women are very often catch'd by those very things they ought least to be catch'd by his twisted Hair longer than any Peasants in Town his Cursing and Swearing like a true Son of Mars a bristling Feather which he wore on his Hat upon Holy-days when the Weather was Fair and a rusty long Sword that flap'd against the old Boots he had on altho' he never bestrid a Horse all these I say gain'd him the Heart of an old Woman that kept an Inn. She had been Courted by the richest Tenants in the Country not so much on account of her Beauty as because she got an Estate with her first Husband by exacting upon People and cheating in the Measure both of Wine and Oats yet she couragiously resisted all the Assaults of her Woers but at last an old-beaten Soldier triumph'd over an old Hostess This Tayern-Nymph had the least Face and the biggest Belly of any Woman in Mayne th● which Province abound● in Big-bellyed People I leave it to the Naturalists to find out the Reason of it as well as of the Fat of the Capons of that Country To return to this short Big-Woman whom I fancy to see as often as● I think on her She married her Warriour without acquainting her Relations with it and having liv'd to a crazy old Age and undergone great Hardships with him she had the Satisfaction to see him Die of a broken Scull which she look'd as a just Judgment upon him for his repeated Attemps of breaking hers When Destiny came into the Kitchen mine Hostess and her Maid helpt the old Curate of the Town to part the Combatants who grappled one another like
