Ay, my house may be ruined, indeed, if I haven't money to pay my wine merchant. tell you what, my honest lad, I've no notion of folks striving to keep up the gentleman, when they cannot support it; and when people are young and strong, can't see any disgrace in taking up a brown musket, or the end of a sedan chair, or—a knot-[Looking at his Shoulders.] any thing better than bilking me, or spunging upon my customers, and flashing it away in

their old clothes.

Lack. See when you'll get such a customer as I was! Haven't I left the mark of a dice box upon every table?-was there a morning I didn't take a sandwich? or a day passed, without my drinking my four bottles?

Mrs Casey. Four bottles! But how many did you pay for?

Lack. Never mind that, that's my affair-By Heaven, madam, I'll ruin your house!-d'ye hear? [Calling.] Carry my baggage over to the Lily.

Mrs. Casey. What d'ye say, honey?

Lack. What, do you think a gentleman has nothing else to do, but to encumber his pockets, and to carry about lumps of cursed, heavy gold, when you and Bob take a fancy to thrust long scrawl papers into his hand?

Mrs. Casey. Why, didn't you desire me to get your bill? and hadn't you your purse out just now to pay me?

Lack. There, you see my purse out just now, but nothing in that.

Mrs. Casey. Well, upon my honour, this is a pretty caper!-all because I'm a lone woman-I see there's no doing without a bit of a man after all.
