Mrs. CIRCUIT.
And besides, there is my debt to Kitty Cribbidge; I protest I almost blush whenever I meet them.
SERJEANT.
Why really, lovee, 'tis a large sum of money.—Now, were I worthy to throw in a little advice, we might make a pretty good hand of this business.
Mrs. CIRCUIT.
I don't understand you.
SERJEANT.
Bring an action against them on the statute, in the name of my clerk; and so not only rescue the debt from their hands, but recover likewise considerable damages.
Mrs. CIRCUIT.
A pretty conceit, Mr. Serjeant! but does it not occur to your wisdom, that as I have (by the help of Captain Cog) been oftener a winner than loser, the tables may be turned upon us?
