--And I hope,
for her own sake and mine, she will persuade the Captain to redeem
her, for the Captain is very generous to the Ladies.
LOCKIT. What Captain?
MRS. TRAPES. He thought I did not know him--An intimate Acquaintance
of yours, Mr. Peachum--Only Captain Macheath--as fine as a Lord.
PEACHUM. To-morrow, dear Mrs. Dye, you shall set your own Price upon
any of the Goods you like--We have at least half a Dozen Velvet
Scarfs, and all at your Service. Will you give me leave to make you
a Present of this Suit of Night-clothes for your own wearing?--But
are you sure it is Captain Macheath.
MRS. TRAPES. Though he thinks I have forgot him; no body knows him
better. I have taken a great deal of the Captain's Money in my Time
at second-hand, for he always lov'd to have his Ladies well drest.
PEACHUM. Mr. Lockit and I have a little Business with the Captain;--
You understand me--and we will satisfy you for Mrs. Coaxer's Debt.
LOCKIT. Depend upon it--we will deal like Men of Honour.
MRS.
