phry, you have vindicated your master most ably, and I have no doubts at all in regard to the propriety of his conduct.
Humph, (very well pleased.) Ay, thank god, I do sometimes make shift in my poor way to edge in a word for his honour.
Roy. (not so well pleased.) Thou art strangely given to prating this morning. (to Humph.) By the bye, cousin Withrington, I must consult you about my application to his Grace.
Humph. (aside to Withrington, pulling him by the sleeve.) You forget to ask for the lady, sir.
With. (turning round.) What did you say of his Grace?
Roy. No, no, I should—I meant—did I not say the gracious young lady your niece; I hope she is well?
With. (smiling) She is very well; you shall go home with me, and visit her.
Roy. I am infinitely obliged to you, my worthy good sir, I shall attend you with the greatest pleasure; some ladies have no dislike to a good looking gentleman-like man, although he may be past the bloom of his youth, cousin? however young men do oftener carry the day, I believe, my son George is a good likely fellow, I expect him in Bath every hour, I shall have the honour of following you, my dear sir. Remember my orders Humphry.
