_Mr Escot._
I fear, sir, you would have some difficulty in furnishing me with such
an article from your own stock.

_Mr Panscope._
'Sdeath, sir, do you question my understanding?

_Mr Escot._
I only question, sir, where I expect a reply; which, from things that
have no existence, I am not visionary enough to anticipate.

_Mr Panscope._
I beg leave to observe, sir, that my language was perfectly
perspicuous, and etymologically correct; and, I conceive, I have
demonstrated what I shall now take the liberty to say in plain terms,
that all your opinions are extremely absurd.

_Mr Escot._
I should be sorry, sir, to advance any opinion that you would not
think absurd.

_Mr Panscope._
Death and fury, sir----

_Mr Escot._
Say no more, sir. That apology is quite sufficient.

_Mr Panscope._
Apology, sir?
