"Teaz. Who's there? Well, Jarvis?
"Jarv. Sir, there are a number of my mistress's tradesmen without, clamorous for their money.
"Teaz. Are those their bills in your hand?
"Jarv. Something about a twentieth part, Sir.
"Teaz. What! have you expended the hundred pounds I gave you for her use?
"Jarv. Long ago, Sir, as you may judge by some of the items:— 'Paid the coach-maker for lowering the front seat of the coach.'
"Teaz. What the deuce was the matter with the seat?
"Jarv. Oh Lord, the carriage was too low for her by a foot when she was dressed—so that it must have been so, or have had a tub at top like a hat-case on a travelling trunk. Well, Sir, (reads.) 'Paid her two footmen half a year's wages, 50_l_.'
"Teaz. 'Sdeath and fury! does she give her footmen a hundred a year?
"Jarv. Yes, Sir, and I think, indeed, she has rather made a good bargain, for they find their own bags and bouquets.
