“Then part with Cousins!”—“Can I do without?”—
“Dismiss your servants!”—“Spare me them, I pray!”-
“At least your carriage!”—“What will people say?”—
“That useless boat, that folly on the lake!”—
“O! but what cry and scandal will it make!”

Had done such mischief on their heads to bring;
This was her comfort, this she would declare;
And then slept soundly on her pillow’d chair. 200
