Twi. My dear friend, after so long a separation, how glad I am to meet you!—but how devilish unlucky that you shou'd, on the very day of my arrival, be going to set sail for another part of the world! yet before you go, I must beg a favour of you—you know Sir Luke and his family perfectly well, I dare say?
Mean. I think so—I have been in his house near six years.
Twi. The very person on earth I wanted!—Sir Luke has power here, I suppose?—a word from him might do a man some service perhaps? [significantly.
Mean. Why, yes; I don't know a man that has more influence at a certain place.
Twin. And her Ladyship seems a very clever gentlewoman?
Mean. Very.
Twi. And I have a notion they think me very clever.
Mean. I dare say they do.
Twi. Yes—but I mean very clever.
Mean. No doubt!
