SERJEANT.
And are you, young man in a situation to think of a wife?
WOODFORD.
I am flattered, Sir, that as justice is with me, I shall one day have no contemptible fortune to throw at her feet.
SERJEANT.
Justice is! What signifies justice?—Is the law with you, you fool?
WOODFORD.
With your help, Sir, I should hope for their union, upon this occasion at least.
SERJEANT.
Well, Sir, I shall re-consider your papers, and, if there are probable grounds, I may be induc'd to hear your proposals.
