matter, and have brought me any money--

_Luck_. Hast thou been in thy trade so long, and talk of money to
a modern author? You might as well have talked Latin or Greek to
him. I have brought you paper, sir.

_Book_. That is not bringing me money, I own. Have you brought me
an opera?

_Luck_. You may call it an opera if you will, but I call it a
puppet-show.

_Book_. A puppet-show!

_Luck_. Ay, a puppet show; and is to be played this night at
Drury-lane playhouse.

_Book_. A puppet-show in a playhouse!

_Luck_. Ay, why, what have been all the playhouses a long while
but puppet-shows?

_Book_. Why, I don't know but it may succeed; at least if we can
make out a tolerable good title-page: so, if you will walk in, if I
can make a bargain with you I will. Gentlemen, you may go to dinner.
