As how?
Mrs. CIRCUIT.
As no man can be admitted a monk, who has the least corporal spot, or defect; so, no candidate can be receiv'd as a member who is depriv'd of the use of any one of his limbs.
Sir LUKE.
Nay, then indeed I am clearly cut out; that incapacity can never be got over.
Mrs. CIRCUIT.
Indeed, the Serjeant says, if the club could be induc'd to resolve in your favour, then the original law would signify nothing.
Sir LUKE.
Well, well, we'll see what can be done. [A loud knocking.] But hush! the company's come; collect yourself, sweet Mrs. Circuit; don't give your enemies the malicious pleasure of seeing how this disappointment affects you.
Mrs. CIRCUIT.
