Yes, of course we're kind; but body o' me! Sir, he'd be better any where else than here, and without occupation, you know, quite idle, and so conspicuous.

I promise you there are more than I who think it.

And he has commenced fitting up that vile old house--that vile house, Sir.

It is ready to tumble down--upon my life they say so; Nutter says so, and Sturk--Dr.Sturk, of the Artillery here--an uncommon sensible man, you know, says so too.

'Tis a vile house, and ready to tumble down, and you know the trouble I was put to by that corporation fellow--a--what's his name--about it; and he can't let it--people's servants won't stay in it, you know, the people tell such stories about it, I'm told; and what business has he here, you know?
It is all very fine for a week or so, but they'll find him out, they will, Sir.
