little fire to cook it, and we will go hence satisfied.


THE HEMP-BEATER.

Do you think that we have any too much room, and that wood costs
nothing?


THE GRAVE-DIGGER.

We have a little bundle of straw to make a fire with, we will be
satisfied with it; only give us leave to place the spit across your
fire-place.


THE HEMP-BEATER.

We will not do it; you arouse disgust, not pity, in us. It's my opinion
that you are drank, that you need nothing, and that you simply want to
get into our house to steal our fire and our daughters.


THE GRAVE-DIGGER.

As you refuse to listen to any good reason, we propose to force our way
into your house.
