Smith. That's very complaisant, I swear, Mr. Bayes, to be of another man's opinion, before he knows what it is.

Ush. As to the when; you say, just now: so that is answer'd. Then, as for what; why, that answers itself; for what could they hear, but what we talk'd of? so that, naturally, and of necessity, we come to the last question, videlicet, whether they heard or no.
Smith. This is a very wise scene, Mr. Bayes.
Bayes. Ay, you have it right; they are both politicians.
Ush. Pray, then, to proceed in method, let me ask you that question.
