Some creditor?

Ay, cousin,—the last creditor

Who has a debt to claim from me.

And you Have paid it?

No, not yet! I put it off; —Said, 'Cry you mercy; this is Saturday, When I have got a standing rendezvous

That nought defers. Call in an hour's time!'

Oh, well, a creditor can always wait!

I shall not let you go ere twilight falls.

Haply perforce I quit you ere it falls!

How now? You have not teased the Sister?
