SIR CHARLES.
Go on, Charles.
CHARLES.
His father was a good shoe-maker, and worked hard to bring up a large family; he brought Harry up a shoe-maker; but Harry had a mind to see the world, as he told me, when he was sick, and he left his father, he was then very sorry for it. His father died since he has been in your service, and he has constantly sent most part of his wages to his poor mother.—Now if you would have the goodness to give him a little furniture, and leather and tools, he and his mother might live together, and they would both be provided for; and, in time, he might be able to return you the money, for he has an honest heart.
SIR CHARLES.
What, without interest, Charles?
CHARLES.
Now, Sir, you joke with me—but I perceive why.
LADY GRANDISON.
Because you were so very careful, and would have the money returned.
