Sir Thomas.
“Young man! dost thou understand Master Silas?”
William Shakspeare.
“But too well. Not those couples in which it might be apprehended that your worship and my unworthiness should appear too close together; but those sorrowfuller which peradventure might unite Master Silas and me in our road to Warwick and upwards. But I resign all right and title unto these as willingly as I did unto the other, and am as ready to let him go alone.”
Sir Silas.
“If we keep wheeling and wheeling, like a flock of pigeons, and rising again when we are within a foot of the ground, we shall never fill the craw.”
Sir Thomas.
“Do thou then question him, Silas.”
Sir Silas.
“I am none of the quorum; the business is none of mine.”
