1st Indian. So, what you trade with Indians here to-day?
M’Dole. Yes, if my Goods will suit, and we agree.
2d Indian. ’Tis Rum we want; we’re tired, hot, and thirsty.
3d Indian. You, Mr. Englishman, have you got Rum?
M’Dole. Jack, bring a Bottle, pour them each a Gill.

1st Indian. It’s good strong Rum; I feel it very soon.
M’Dole. Give me a Glass. Here’s Honesty in Trade;

2d Indian. Good way enough; it makes one sharp and cunning.
