Ha, ha, ha, I can't help laughing to think what a pretty soldier you would make--You look vastly like a soldier to be sure.--Ha, ha, ha. (MARQUIS: Why not, Sir?) Nay, no offence--Damn me if I should not like to command a whole regiment of you--and I would go upon some new achievements--For instance, say the enemy were Hotten-tots, I would undertake to poison them all by the scent of perfumes from my army--or in case of a repulse, would engage at any time to raise a mist, and escape pursuit, only by commanding every man to shake his head, and discharge the powder. (MARQUIS: Upon my word, Sir, you are very pleasant.) I am very glad your Lordship thinks so. (Enter.) SERVANT.
