And, Mr.
Richard, ye might ha' made a friend o' me, sir, and it's not too late so to do.

I'm not cruel, but I hate lies.

I whipped my boy Tom, bigger than you, for not bein' above board, only yesterday,--ay! made 'un stand within swing o' this chair, and take's measure.

Now, if ye'll come down to me, and speak trewth before the trial--if it's only five minutes before't; or if Sir Austin, who's a gentleman, 'll say there's been no tamperin' with any o' my witnesses, his word for't--well and good! I'll do my best to help off Tom Bakewell.

And I'm glad, young gentleman, you've got a conscience about a poor man, though he's a villain.
