Of course, Cis, of course, I want you to make a companion of me.

Cis.

Then how the deuce can I do that if you won’t come with me to Meek Street?

Mr. Posket.

Cis.

Deceiving the mater would be to tell her a crammer—a thing, I hope, we’re both of us much above.

Mr. Posket.

Good boy, good boy.

Cis.
