Simon: It is all I have of means in the world. I never handled a coin before it, but my bite to be given me and my bed.
Damer: You'll mind it well if you have sense.
Simon: It is towards the east it bade me go. I'll travel as far as the races of Knockbarron to-morrow.
Damer: You'll be apt to lose it going to races.
Simon: I'll go bet with it, and see what way will it turn out.
Damer: You to set all you own upon a horse that might fail at the leaps! It is a very foolish thing doing that.
Simon: It might not. Some have luck and are born lucky and more have run through their luck. If I lose it, it is lost. It would not keep me long anyway. I to win, I will have more and plenty.
Damer: You will surely lose it.
Simon: If I do I have nothing to get or to fall back on. It is some other one must take my charges.
Damer: A great pity to go lose a gold sovereign to some schemer you never saw before.
