MOSES. Well--but you must insure your Place. TRIP. O with all my Heart--I'll insure my Place, and my Life too, if you please. SIR OLIVER. It's more than I would your neck---- MOSES. But is there nothing you could deposit? TRIP. Why nothing capital of my master's wardrobe has drop'd lately--but I could give you a mortgage on some of his winter Cloaths with equity of redemption before November or--you shall have the reversion--of the French velvet, or a post obit on the Blue and Silver--these I should think Moses--with a few Pair of Point Ruffles as a collateral security--hey, my little Fellow? MOSES. Well well--we'll talk presently--we detain the Gentlemen---- SIR OLIVER. O pray don't let me interrupt Mr. Trip's Negotiation. TRIP. Harkee--I heard the Bell--I believe, Gentlemen I can now introduce you--don't forget the annuity little Moses. SIR OLIVER. If the man be a shadow of his Master this is the Temple of Dissipation indeed! [Exeunt.] SCENE III.--CHARLES, CARELESS, etc., etc. |
