Get dinner ready. How much do you give your syce a month? At two o’clock or half-past two, just as you like. I intend to dine at seven o’clock; don’t forget. Hold it carefully, and don’t let it fall. Where are all the servants? Have you ordered the syce to saddle the horse? Take care; this horse is rather vicious. At what time shall I get the carriage ready? I shall return at five o’clock. Call some one to hold the horse. I have brought one pair of shoes.
