You are smart, Mrs. Simper. I can tell you, Serjeant Snuffle, whose manner I study'd, pronounc'd me a promising youth.
Mrs. SIMPER.
I don't doubt it.
Sir LUKE.
But let us to business. And first, for the state of the case: The parties you know are Hobson and Nobson; the object of litigation is a small parcel of land, which is to decide the fate of a borough.
Mrs. CIRCUIT.
True; call'd Turnbury Mead.
Sir LUKE.
Very well. Then to bring matters to a short issue, it was agreed, that Nobson should on the premises cut down a tree, and Hobson bring his action of damage.
Mrs. CIRCUIT.
