FOOTNOTES TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES.

Enter the Clown.

Clown.

Young Geraldine.

A friend.

Clown.

The word?

Young Geraldine.

Honest Roger.

Clown.

That’s the word indeed; you have leave to pass freely without calling my corporal.

Young Geraldine.

How go the affairs within?

Clown.

According to promise: the business is composed, and the servants disposed; my young mistress reposed; my old master, according as you proposed, attends you, if you be exposed, to give him meeting; nothing in the way being interposed, to transpose you to the least danger: and this I dare be deposed, if you will not take my word, as I am honest Roger.

Young Geraldine.

Thy word shall be my warrant, but secured

Most in thy master’s promise, on which building,

By this known way I enter.

Clown.

Nay, by your leave, I that was late but a plain sentinel will now be your captain conductor: follow me.

[Exeunt.
