(advancing) That's a saying in our parts; but I have tried it, and I couldn't do it. (looking at clock) Seven o'clock! what a litter this room is in. (placing chairs, &c.) And look here. (indicating clothes scattered over an easy chair) What's all this? Oh, old master's morning gown. (places it in the closet) I have an idea that this place of mine suits me very well. I am boarded and lodged and washed, eight pounds a year, and the key of the cellar. I fancy I shall soon get my nose red in this house. (sits) This here easy chair is uncommon comfortable."
