Sir Fran. Is playing the devil!
Man. Why truly, that's a part that most of your fine ladies begin with, as soon as they get to London.
Sir Fran. If I am a living man, cousin, she has made away with above two hundred and fifty pounds since yesterday morning!
Man. Hah! I see a good housewife will do a great deal of work in a little time.
Sir Fran. Work do they call it! fine work indeed!
Man. Well, but how do you mean made away with it? What, she has laid it out, may be——but I suppose you have an account of it.
Sir Fran. Yes, yes, I have had the account indeed; but I mun needs say, it's a very sorry one.
Man. Pray, let's hear.
Sir Fran. Why, first I let her have an hundred and fifty, to get things handsom about her, to let the world see that I was somebody! and I thought that sum very genteel.
