SIR OLIVER. Egad I like this Idea better than the other, and I may
visit Joseph afterwards as old Stanley. SIR PETER. True so you may. ROWLEY. Well this is taking Charles rather at a disadvantage, to be sure--however Moses--you understand Sir Peter and will be faithful---- 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 to pass for a Jew? MOSES. There's no need--the Principal is Christian. SIR OLIVER. Is He--I'm very sorry to hear it--but then again-- an't I rather too smartly dressed to look like a money-Lender? 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 cant of usury and mode of treating that I ought to know. SIR PETER. Oh, there's not much to learn--the great point as I take it is to be exorbitant enough in your Demands hey Moses? |
