3d Sol. What has he got there?
2nd Sol. The Proclamation! The Proclamation! Will you be good enough to let me see if there is not a picture there somewhere, with an Indian and a tomahawk?
6th Sol. Now, Sirs, he that wants a new coat, and a pocket full of money—
3d Sol. That's me fast enough.
2nd Sol. If he had mentioned a shirt-sleeve now, or a rim to an old hat—
4th Sol. Or a bit of a crown, or so.
6th Sol. He that wants a new coat—get off from my toes, you scoundrel.
All. Let's see. Let's see. Read—read.
7th Sol. (Spouting.) "And he that don't want his house burned over his head, and his wife and children, or his mother and sisters, as the case may be, butchered or eaten alive before his eyes—"
3d Sol. Heavens and earth! It 'ant so though, Wilson, is it?
