Pet. Ay, sure did I. He's coming out to-day for the first time.
Mrs. H. I rejoice to hear it.
Pet. He said that he was obliged to you for all; and before dinner would crawl up to thank you.
Mrs. H. Good Peter, do me another service.
Pet. Ay, a hundred, if you'll only let me have a good long stare at you.
Mrs. H. With all my heart! Observe when old Tobias comes, and send him away. Tell him I am busy, or asleep, or unwell, or what you please.
Sol. [Without.] There, there, go to the post-office.
Mrs. H. Oh! here comes Mr. Solomon.
Pet. What! Father?—Ay, so there is. Father's a main clever man: he knows what's going on all over the world.
