Dr. As they use to do with unfortunate Persons.
Mo. God forbid that that should be your Case. But what are you doing?
Dr. I am idling, as you see; doing just nothing at all.
Mo. It is better to be idle than doing of nothing; it may be I interrupt you, being employ'd in some Matters of Consequence?
Dr. No, really, entirely at Leisure; I just began to be tir'd of being alone, and was wishing for a merry Companion.
Mo. It may be I hinder, interrupt, disturb you, being about some Business?
Dr. No, you divert me, being tired with being idle.
Mo. Pray pardon me if I have interrupted you unseasonably.
Dr. Nay, you came very seasonably; you are come in the Nick of Time; I was just now wishing for you; I am extreme glad of your Company.
Mo. It may be you are about some serious Business, that I would by no means interrupt or hinder?
