Man. Ha! so, upon these hopes, you are to make your fortune!
Sir Fran. Why, do you think there's ony doubt of it, Sir?
Man. Oh no, I have not the least doubt about it——for just as you have done, I made my fortune ten years ago.
Sir Fran. Why, I never knew you had a place, cousin.
Man. Nor I neither, upon my faith, cousin. But you perhaps may have better fortune: for I suppose my Lord has heard of what importance you were in the debate to-day——You have been since down at the house, I presume?
Sir Fran. O yes! I would not neglect the house, for ever so much.
Man. Well, and pray what have they done there?
Sir Fran. Why, troth! I can't well tell you, what they have done, but I can tell you what I did: and I think pretty well in the main; only I happened to make a little mistake at last indeed.
Man. How was that?
