Aim. Ha! ha! ha! upon my word I commend you.
Re-enter Boniface.
Well, Mr. Boniface, what's the news? [140]
Bon. There's another gentleman below, as the saying is, that hearing you were but two, would be glad to make the third man, if you would give him leave.
Aim. What is he?
Bon. A clergyman, as the saying is.
Aim. A clergyman! is he really a clergyman? or is it only his travelling name, as my friend the captain has it?
Bon. O sir, he's a priest, and chaplain to the French officers in town. [150]
Aim. Is he a Frenchman?
Bon. Yes, sir, born at Brussels.
