 ACT I. 
 
 SCENE I. — An Apartment opening into a garden with folding- 
 doors, c. F. — A Table and tioo Chairs. 
 
 Enter Lady Julia with a candle and a letter. 
 
 Lady J. My plot is laid, my servants are all disposed of, and 
 I think I cannot fail of success ; but let me once more peruse 
 this curious epistle, for on that depends all my future operations. 
 (^Reads) ' My dear Lady Julia — you will, ere this can reach you, he 
 in anxious expectation of receiving your cousin, Lord Henry, to ichom 
 you have promised your hand immediately upon his arrival ; he is 
 on the point of setting out, and I have to communicate to you the 
 wildest project that ever entered a young man''s brains.' A wild 
 project indeed ! but I'll cure him of his fancies when once we 
 are married. (^Reads.) Lord Henry considers himself a philoso- 
 pher ; to dotiht is to be wise according to his creed ; and eager to dis- 
 cover whether three years absence have made any alteration in your 
 manners and sentiments, he means to present himself to you under the 
 character and disguise of his travelling servant, La Roche. I thought 
 it a pity that you should be taken by surprise, and have therefore said 
 thus much to put yoti tipon your guard — rjour own discretion.'' — Well, 
 this is all to the purpose ; so then, I am to be taken by sur- 
 prise 1 to be detected, found out — but I am much mistaken, if 
 the biter will not be bit ; the moment draws near when I expect 
 him ; my first plan is to overwhelm him with my coolness, my 
 indifference 
 
 Lord H. {without i,.) C'est bon ! c'est bon I 
 
 Lady J. {looking out, l.) Ah, here he is, and sure enough dis- 
 guised as his servant. La Roche.
 
 •4 PERSONATION. 
 
 Enter Lord Henry, l., running. 
 
 Lord H. Euf in ma foi. (^Stopping short.) Milles pardons, mi 
 ladi. [Bowing with great respect. 
 
 Lady J. Whom do you seek, friend ? 
 
 Lord H. Excuse me, madame, I am mi lor Henry's most bum- 
 ble servant. I arrive only dis moment. 
 Lady J. With Lord Henry ? 
 
 Lo7'd H. Helas non, madame ; he vras fly on de ving of Cupid 
 to trow him at your knee, but his diable de brisky turn over. 
 Lady J. ( With indifference.) Overturned ? 
 
 Lord H. Overturn — fracasse ! all broke en leetel bit, comme 
 ca. [Showing tlie top of his thumh. 
 
 Lady J. Broken to pieces ! 
 
 Lord H. En thousand piece ! so madame malgrc, spite of his 
 urrey to kiss de vite hand of mi ladi, he could no come furder 
 den de village vere de accident happen. 
 
 Lady J. {Aside.) His lordship tells a lie with a tolerable grace 
 for a philosopher. 
 
 Lord H. (Aside.) She does not seem much moved at the acci- 
 dent, for a bride. 
 
 Lady J. And so. Lord Henry — bless me, how cool the even- 
 ings are growing — Lord Henry will be detained some days lon- 
 ger at the village? 
 
 Lord H. Vraiment, mi ladi, I am ignorant. (Aside.) How 
 she freezes me ! 
 
 Lady J. He must have received a great shock ? 
 
 Lord H. (Emphatically.) Very great shock indeed, mi ladi. 
 
 Lady J. I hope he feels no other inconvenience from his pres- 
 ent situation 1 
 
 Lord H. Non, madame, he will soon be cured of his vound. 
 
 Lady J. Oh, he is wounded, is he ? oh then, one had better 
 send — 
 
 Lord H. Do not derange you, mi ladi, he vill get de better ot 
 his vound, be you sure. 
 
 Lady J. Are you certain that his head is sound ? 
 
 Lord H. Madame ! 
 
 Lady J. Madame ! I say, are you certain that hi« head is 
 Bound ?
 
 PERSONATION. $■ 
 
 Lord H. Pres certain, 'tis very sound. I will answer for 
 that. 
 
 Ladi/ J. Will you? that's more than I will; well, friend, re- 
 turn to your master, and tell him — 
 
 Lord H. I should be encbante to obey de commands of mi la- 
 di, but mon maitre order me to vait hira here. 
 
 Lady J. To wait for hira here ! that's very awkward, for I am 
 going to a fete at a neighboring villa, and I have promised to 
 ♦ake all my servants with me — how unfortunate ! however, I 
 uare say we shall be able to find some hole or corner to poke 
 you and your master into. I'll send my French housekeeper 
 to you. I declare I am so shocked at this accident, that I shall 
 not have spirits to dance or to sing, or to do anything ; you'll 
 tell your master how affected I am. [Sings and exit l. 
 
 Lord H. (Botoinff very low till she is out of sight and hearing.) 
 Lady Julia, Lady Julia ! false, faithless woman ! well, well, 
 well. I had judged solidly of this frothy moiety of the human 
 race — to doubt is to be wise — conviction follows : but for this 
 disguise, I should have made a fine fool of myself here, since I 
 have made so good a beginning ; faithful to my project, let mo 
 see it to an end. I'll watch my lady fair narrowly, interrogate 
 this French housekeeper whom she is sending to me, probe her 
 to the quick, and by hook or by crook. La Roche may find out 
 what Lord Henry might have discovered too late. 
 
 Re-enter Lady Julia, r., disguised as a French Gouvernante. 
 
 Lady J. Ah, sir ! you are here — mi ladi has just given order 
 and direction for your account, and I come to execute dem wid 
 all proper degree of promptitude and alacrite ! and to express to 
 you, sir, how very sincerely I feel de greatest pleasure and satis 
 faction in performing de office and functions of my post, my avo- 
 tions. 
 
 Loj-d H. (^Aside.) There's a whirlwind! {To her.) Oh! my 
 heart is penetre with 3'our goodness, madame. 
 
 Lady J. Madame ! ah, give me leave to tell you, sir, that you 
 bestow upon me un appelation which min pride, min modestie — 
 
 Lord H. Oh, mademoiselle ! pardonnez nie, miss. 
 
 Lady J. Yes, sir — miss, miss, I am miss ; but it has only de- 
 pend upon ininself to become iutillcd to madame ; but de modes-

 tie, which belongs to min sex, to min countrie, particularly — in 
 short, sir, I am single and very much at your service ; but I 
 stand here chatter like a little child and I forget dat monsieur a 
 besoin de refraishment after dis journey. 
 
 Lord H. Oh, mam'selle it is sufficient refraishment to see your 
 beauty face. 
 
 Lady J. Ah, very, pretty indeed ! will you sit down ? {Chmrs 
 hrought doton hy Lord Henry, much ceremony in sitting.) Mon- 
 sieur La Roche, between ourself, do you think dis marriage be- 
 tween mi lor and mi ladi will take place, eh 1 
 
 Lord H. Certainment. 
 
 Lady J. I taught so once, mais — , 
 
 Lord H. ( With great earnestness.) Mais what 1 
 
 Lady J. One see so many tings, dat one is sorry to see — tant 
 de dissimulation — 
 
 Lord Jf. En verite 
 
 Lady J. Monsieur La Roche, je ne me mele jamais des affaires 
 autres — I never trouble me vid the business dat does not con- 
 cern minself, but )'ou have inspired me wid a friendship — 
 
 Lord H. Ah ! 
 
 Lady J. Wid a consideration — 
 
 Lord H. Ah ! 
 
 Lady J. Wid — you understand — and I must tell you, dat mi 
 ladi expect dis very night — 
 
 Lord H. {Very eagerly.) A lovair f 
 
 Lady J. Alles done ! alles done ! you know very welJ what a 
 young lady expect. 
 
 Lord H. {Aside.) The devil ! 
 
 JL,ady J. lie comes here disguise — 
 
 Lord H. Tn disguise? 
 
 Lady J. Oui, disguise ! no greater caution was taught neces- 
 sary wid a servant. 
 
 Lord H. {Rising.) Perfidious woman 
 
 Lady J. What is de matter, eh, min dear ? 
 
 Lord H. Noting, noting — {aside.) did not think greater cau- 
 tion was necessary wid a servant. 
 
 Lady J. Eh, mine dear, if my spectacle does not deceive me, 
 VQUS est pale, you are pale. 
 
 Lord H. Pale, pale ! no I see, I see. [t*aces. 
 
 Lady J. Eh, what do you see ?
 
 PEESONATION. T 
 
 Lord H. I see mi lor coming dis way, and I must obey, voua 
 de la ; out of the way, you old devil. [^Exit t. 
 
 Lady J. (ImKfhiuff.) Ha, ba, ba ! my cousin has forgotten his 
 French before the end of bis first scene 1 These men, with 
 what phantoms they torment themselves ! yet I own I thought 
 this cousin of mine more wise, than complaisantly to come and 
 teach me bow far I might deceive a jealous husband ; and these 
 arc the lords of the creation ! the Lord holp us poor women ! 
 
 Lord H. ( Without l., speaking in his natural voice.) Let the 
 rest of the servants return to the inn. {As La Roche.) Oui, 
 ray lord. (As Lord H.) 1 may want your assistance. 
 
 Lady J. 'Tis very )'ke you may. 
 
 Enter Lorl Henry, elegantly dressed^ l. 
 
 Lord H. Good woman, do you belong to this house ? 
 
 Lady J. Yes, sir, mi ladi bring me from Paris, just two year, 
 three month, five day. 
 
 Lord H. A truce to dates — I am Lord Henry. 
 
 Lady /.Ah my lor! {Curtseys with great respect.) 
 
 Lord H. Be quick, and announce me to your lady — -is she in 
 the house? 
 
 Lady J. Oui, mi lor, aat s to say, non. 
 
 Lord H. Yes — no — 
 
 Lady J. Ah, she was on de point to go to a grand chateau, to 
 make a visit — but now my lor is arrived, I don't know how far 
 she may — 
 
 Lord H. Furies ! without tormenting me any longer, go and 
 see, then. 
 
 Lady J. (Going, recollects herself and retii/rns.) Mi lor, I have do 
 honor to be, wid de greatest respect imaginable, votres tres hum- 
 ble, tres obeissante. 
 
 Lord H. Go to the devil. 
 . Lady J. Oh, certainly, my lor (Ez-it, r. 
 
 Lord H. So, so, ao ! it was not thought necessary to use great- 
 er precaution with a servant ; well, we shall see whether the mas^ 
 ter is to be treated with the same audacity. Oh ! thou happy 
 and fei-tiie invention of mine, how much have I to thank thee 
 for ! we shall see this cautious rival, who takes so much pains to 
 disguise himself — the rowanl ! and Lady Julia to have a regard

 time — how she will tremble in my presence ! I really pity her 
 — but away with such weakness from my breast. Ah ! she's 
 here. 
 
 Enter Ladt Julia r., dressed for an assembly. 
 
 Lndy J. Welcome, welcome my dearest Henry, ten thousand 
 welcomes ; this shocking accident of yours, La Roche, no doubt, 
 informed you 
 
 Lord H. {Sarcastically.') lie did. 
 
 Lady J. Had he not prevented it, I should have flown, to 
 your assistance ; why, Henry, you aro thoughtful ? 
 
 Lord H. i^Aside.) "What unparalleled dissimulation ! 
 
 Lady J. For heaven's sake, dispel the cloiid that hangs about 
 your brow ; your presence could bring nothing but joy to your 
 Julia — I have been too long a prey to melancholy. 
 
 Lord H. To melancholy ! 
 
 Lady J. Yes, shut up in this solitude — hark ! don't I hear the 
 sound of a carriage 1 
 
 Lord H. Some company. . 
 
 Lady J. Yes ; not that I like them, neither will you, but I ex- 
 pect half the world ; there's Lady Rachel Rattlecap — Sir Fred- 
 erick Pharo — the two Misses Scarecrow — the Countess of 
 Roundabout ; and, last not least in our dear love, the Honorable 
 Edward Eastdale. 
 
 Lord H. What ! (^Strictly observing her.) That young fop ! the 
 greatest coxcomb in the country ? 
 
 Lady J. Speak a little less severely, sir, of a person I esteem. 
 
 Lord H. (Aside.) That's the man ! 
 
 Lady J. Eastdale has his merit. 
 
 Lord H. Oh, sublime ! 
 
 Lady J. And, if he came alone, would meet with a very dif- 
 ferent reception. 
 
 Lord H. No doubt on't. 
 
 Lady J. However, to prove to you, that I would owe ray hap- 
 piness to you alone, I will go and endeavor to get rid of these 
 troublesome intruders ; in the meantime, Henrj- do you take a 
 turn in the little wood — you no doubt remember how its wind- 
 ing walks and fragrant shrubs can lull a lover's anxious mind to 
 pleasing reverie ; go — go — go — to the little wood — to the lit- 
 tle wood. Exit, R. 
 
 Ziord H. To tho little wood ! there to loiter patiently along

 the winding walks, wliile the perfidious^ — to the little wood. 
 (^Imitating her.) Damn the little wood ! was ever man so treat- 
 ed by a false, deceitful woman ! I will show no more weakness, 
 feel no more regret. What compels me to put up with this out- 
 rage, and suffer a trifling coxcomb to rob me with impunity of 
 my earthly happiness 1 Nothing — I'll give way to the tran- 
 sports of rage that rise within my breast, revenge myself of the 
 ungrateful creature, I'll kill this coxcomb of a rival, or perish by 
 his hand ! Yes, and when he is no more, I'll kill him again. 
 (^Looking off k.) 
 
 Enter Lady Jvhix from the garden, c. f. disgimed q,s the GquvernantCy 
 she appears to be on the look-cut. 
 
 Lord H. Well, what's the matter 1 
 
 Lady J. Nothing, nothing. 
 
 Lord H. What are you doing there ? are you set spy upon me ? 
 
 Lady J. Mi lor ! 
 
 Lord H. Do you come to see whether I am in the little wood ? 
 
 Lady J. Bah, bah, little wood. 
 
 Lord H. Nay, no affection, La Roche has told me all. 
 
 Lady J, Monsieur La Roche ? 
 
 Lord H. Yes, yes, I know the projects of Lady Julia — La 
 Roche has told me — and here, take this.(Gti;es a purse) I'll make 
 it worth your while to add to his intelligence ; tell all you know, 
 and first what carriage was that ?-!-who were those visitors ? 
 
 Lady J. Those visiteurs ? 
 
 Loi-d H. Ay, this moment tell me — r 
 
 Lady J. Those visiteurs, as you call dem, are ^— i 
 
 Lord H. Who, what are they ? 
 
 Lady J. They are but only one 
 
 Lord H. But one ? 
 
 Lady J. One single gentleman is all dat has enter de door dis 
 day. 
 
 Lord H. And he, no doubt, is a lover ? 
 
 Lady J. Ah, he call himself so. 
 
 Lord H. Damnation ! and this lover, no doubt, is disguised ? 
 
 Lady J. Non, mi lor, your arrival make a great change, and he 
 is dress — parbleu ! he is dress like you. 
 
 Lord H. I understand — thrown off all constraint. Well— 
 what have they done with him — whore is he, I say 1 
 
 Lady J. At dis moment ? at dis moment he is wid mi ladi. 
 
 Lord H. With her ladyship ! alone ?
 
 10 PERSONATION, 
 
 Lady J. Quite alone, quite alone. 
 
 Lord H. Furies ! what, you saw her with bim ? 
 
 Lady J. As plain as I see minself wid you. 
 
 Lord H. Indeed ! and did vou see nothing else 1 
 
 Lady J. Oh, to be sure. 
 
 Lord H. (Raisinff his voice violently.) What? 
 
 Lady J. He was in a grande rage. 
 
 Lord H. In a rage — and wherefore ? 
 
 Lady J. Because he had taken it into his head, dat he had 
 got a rival. 
 
 Lord H. He has — he hu6 — a dangerous rival, and he shall soon 
 feel the whole weight of my resentment. 
 
 Lady /. Et no poor creature, let him alone, let him alone ; foi 
 as I could see, he want it here. {Pointing to her head. 
 
 Lord H. He's a fool. 
 
 Lady J. Your lordship knows him, I perceive dat. 
 
 Lord H. And so her ladyship 
 
 Lady J. She seems to be making a jest of him. 
 
 Lord H. Poor deluded wretch. 
 
 Lady J. At length fearful of a discovery, she became very 
 anxious to put an end to de interview, and as it is growing dark, 
 dey have agreed to meet again in de little wood, in order I sup- 
 pose 
 
 Lord H. {Furiously) To do what 1 
 
 Lady J. Bah — it is impossible to talk to such a man as dat ! 
 
 Lord H. That a fool — a fop — a coxcomb, should be able to 
 
 make such rapid progress in her heart as 
 
 Lady J. ( Taking the candle) I can convince you of it. 
 
 Lord H. Be it so — I take you at your word. 
 
 [Goes hastily and grasps her hand. 
 
 Lady J. Et non, mi lor, you are in too great a passion. {He 
 shakes her hazid, and sJie drops the candle — stage dark) Dare now, 
 you are more in de dark dan ever — stay quiet, I will get ? 
 candle — mais, si vous ceri, et tempeli — ah, moi foi, c'est impos- 
 sible ! [Preteiids to go out. 
 
 Lord H. How is it possible to have the least command of my 
 self in this house ? hush, I hear a footstep, I can see nothing — 
 unlucky darkness — however, it conceals me — let me be all at- 
 tention. 
 
 Lady J. {Aside.) Now to speak in my own person. {Aloud) 
 Yes, all things considered, 'twill be the wisest plan ; and every 
 reasonable being will readily excuse me.
 
 PERSONATION. 11 
 
 Lord H. 'Tie Lady Julia, and alone. 
 
 Ladi/ J. My lot with Lord Henery would have been too de- 
 plorable ; he is jealous — imperious — proud of his supposed 
 superiority — Eastdale promises me a happier destiny. 
 
 Lord H. ( Unable to contain himself any longer.) Ah ! 
 
 Lady J. Who goes there 1 Eastdale — Eastdale — dear Eastdale, 
 is it you ? 
 
 Lord H. (Aside.) Let me take advantage of her error. (Jo 
 Lady Julia.) Yes, 'tis I. 
 
 Lady J. You have merited my fullest confidence, and I am 
 your's. Yet I think it necessary to inform you, that till this 
 day I loved this cousin, to whom I was going to be united. 
 
 Lord H. (Greatly agitated.) Lady Julia ! 
 
 Lady J. Experience has shown me my danger, *.aught me to 
 appreciate your gentle qualities, and you receivt, since such 
 you think it, the prize predestined to a rival. The only ques- 
 tion now is, how best to dispose of Lord Henry. 
 
 Lord H. How best to dispose of Lord Henry. 
 
 Lady J. Yes, I have thought it the wisest way — the most de- 
 corous — to present him to you as my husband. I have there- 
 fore had this marriage article drawn up. Go — there are lights 
 in the Pavilion — sign the paper, and return with a candle. 
 (Lord Henry sighs.) Why do jon sigh? 
 
 Lord H. Poor Henry ! 
 
 Lady J. Poor fellow ! — But we don't think of him now. 
 
 Lord H. (Aside — taking the jmrchment from her.) What have I 
 lost? wantonly lost! If she knew my feelings at this moment, 
 she might still perhaps — I'll sign, however, and she shall see I 
 have too much honor to take advantage of the error which she 
 herself is in. \^Goes out upon the terrace, c. f. 
 
 Lady J. So now we draw to a conclusion. Oh, my dear 
 cousin, I'll teach you to plot ! Plot, indeed ! as if we women 
 were not always better at that sport. (Looking through the fold- 
 ing doors, c. F.) By all my hopeS; he signs, and without exam- 
 ming the contents ! Excellent ! 
 
 Enter Lord Henry, with a candle and the parchment — He throws 
 the paper on the ground, and sits down in great agitation. 
 
 Lord H. There — there's the instrument. 
 
 Lady J. Ah ! ma felicite est complete — e?t complete. 
 
 Lord H. What voice do I hear ? 
 
 Lady J. That of your wife, min d«ar. Come, dear, come to 
 these spotless arms.
 
 '12 PERSONATION. 
 
 Lord II. Thou infernal old hag ! return that fatal instrument 
 immediately, or — [^Attempting to snatch it. 
 
 Lady J. Et non, non, non ! If your passion will not let me 
 see' what one is worth — {Coughs violently) — it is only a little 
 cough which takes me in de winter. 
 
 Lord H. I wish to the Lord it had taken you off. I am a 
 dead man. [Throwing himself into a chair with his head upon tlie 
 table. 
 
 Lady J. lie is a dead man ! I have not seen many such dead 
 man as dat. Ah ! let me tell you, Sir, for all de passion you 
 are in, I have got some good blood in my vein. 
 
 Lord H. Damn your blood ! 
 
 Lady J. And dere was a Miladi in min family, before you 
 make me one. And when I take off dis wire-drawn cap, which 
 conceals tresses, in which, spite of deir silver hue, many an in- 
 cautious swain has been caught, dat hover too near dem — when 
 I take off dese spectacles, which intercept oder beams dan dose 
 of de sun — when I pull off dese gloves, which cover a hand dat 
 might have blessed even a philosopher — when I take off dese 
 ruffles of two grandmothers and a maiden aunt — 
 
 Lord H. (Aside.) What the devil ! is she undressing herself? 
 
 Lady J. When I untie dis ponderous apron, which would 
 transform a fairy into a duenna — (Speaking in her own voice and 
 accent,) — when I draw off this cloak from a bosom which con- 
 ceals a heart, the truth of which a faithless cousin ought never 
 to be doubted — then, perhaps, he would as readily take Madame 
 la Gouvernante to wife, as Lady Julia herself. 
 
 Lord H. (Falling at her feet.) Lady Julia ! 
 
 Lady J. Your faithful Julia ! 
 
 Lord H. Is it possible ? Am I awake ? 
 
 Lady J. Most truly so, and never to dream of jealousy again 
 I hope. 
 
 Lord H. And — well, well ! when I was disguised as La Roche 
 who would have thought 
 
 Laxly J. ' By the Lord, I knew you, Hal !' and I have my un- 
 cle's letters to prove it. 
 
 Lord H. My angel ! if ever again I — Dear me ! I was in a 
 devil of a fright. I began to think I was fairly taken ia. 
 
 Lady J. So you were, and so shall I be, too. 
 
 Unless our frolic be approved by you. [2b audience,
