Ecoutez Monsieur l'Abbé, I brought you over to write Remarks on the English Nation, but shall no longer harbour a conceal'd Enemy to my Country. As the frolick was mine it's fit that I pay for it and you shall be supply'd with Money to carry you back to your own Country. (Abbé: Il faut que je retourne donc?) You must, Sir, and when you are arriv'd, divest yourself of your Prejudices; don't follow the Example of Voltaire and Abbé Le Blanc, but dare to speak the Truth. Tell your countrymen you heard here of a King determin'd to prosecute a vigorous War, but more desirous of an honorable Peace--tell 'em we have Ministers who understand the true Interest of their country, and are determin'd to maintain the just rights of Great Britain--tell 'em that plain good Sense, honor, honesty, and a regard for our word, are the characteristicks of the English Nation--and tell 'em the most ridiculous object you saw in this country is a Frenchify'd Englishman. (Abbé: Mais, Monsieur, est-il possible!) No more Monsieur l'Abbé--I wish you well, and take my leave.
