Miss. There’s a Question! you talk like a Poticary: Why, because he could live no longer.
Neverout. Well; rest his Soul: We must live by the Living, and not by the Dead.
Ld. Sparkish. You know, his House was burnt down to the Ground.
Col. Yes; it was in the News: Why Fire and Water are good Servants, but they are very bad Masters.
Ld. Smart. Here, take away, and set down a Bottle of Burgundy: Ladies, you’ll stay, and drink a Glass of Wine before you go to your Tea.
[All taken away, and the Wine set down, &c.
[Miss gives Neverout a smart Pinch.
Neverout. Lord, Miss, what d’ye mean! D’ye think I have no Feeling?
Miss. I’m forc’d to pinch, for the Times are hard.
Neverout [giving Miss a Pinch.] Take that, Miss; what’s Sauce for a Goose is for a Gander.
