love for her, and Charles seems to think that by giving Susan to Sir Francis, he can repay all.(Scene IX-X) Act IV Or Scenes (XI-XIII) Frankford and Nick devise a scheme to call him away from home and see what Wendoll and Anne do in his absence. As he departs, Wendoll convinces Anne to take their dinner in her private chambers, which will no doubt lead to dessert of a carnal nature. Frankford and Nick sneak home in the night and Frankford finds Anne and Wendoll in bed together. He chases Wendoll out and expresses his disappointment in Anne.
