If you did you might be quite sure that I should say nothing.

And if you choose to bid me hold my tongue I will say nothing.

But when you tell me all your own thoughts about this thing you can hardly expect but that I should let you know mine in return.

I'm not particular; and if you are ready for a little good, wholesome, useful hypocrisy, I won't balk you.

I mayn't be quite so dishonest as you call me, but I'm not so wedded to truth but what I can look, and act, and speak a few falsehoods if you wish it.
