visit Joseph afterwards as old Stanley.

SIR PETER. True so you may.

ROWLEY. Well this is taking Charles rather at a disadvantage, to be

MOSES. You may depend upon me--and this is near the Time I was
to have gone.

SIR OLIVER. I'll accompany you as soon as you please, Moses----
but hold--I have forgot one thing--how the plague shall I be able

SIR OLIVER. Is He--I'm very sorry to hear it--but then again--

SIR PETER. Not at all; 'twould not be out of character, if you
went in your own carriage--would it, Moses!

MOSES. Not in the least.

SIR OLIVER. Well--but--how must I talk[?] there's certainly some
