‘We are not fond of houses, brother, I never slept in a house in my life.’

‘But would not plenty of money induce you?’

‘I hate houses, brother, and those who live in them.’

‘Well, suppose such a person were willing to resign his fine house, and for love of you to adopt gypsy law, speak Romany, and live in a tan, would you have nothing to say to him?’

‘Bringing plenty of money with him, brother?’

‘Well, bringing plenty of money with him, Ursula.’

‘Well, brother, suppose you produce your man; where is he?’

‘I was merely supposing such a person, Ursula.’

‘Then you don’t know of such a person, brother?’

‘Why, no, Ursula; why do you ask?’
