'She'll have to keep him,' observed Captain Cutitfat, whose turn it now was to play.
'What makes you think that?' asked Lady Scattercash, coming again to the charge.
'He has nothing,' replied Fat coolly.
''Deed, but he has—a very good property, too,' replied her ladyship.
'In Airshire, I should think,' rejoined Fat.
'No, in Englandshire,' retorted her ladyship: 'and great expectations from an uncle,' added she.
'Ah—he looks like a man to be on good terms with his uncle,' sneered Captain Bouncey.
'Make no doubt he pays him many a visit,' observed Seedeybuck.
'Indeed! that's all you know,' snapped Lady Scattercash.
'It's not all I know,' replied Seedeybuck.
