No one has waited until to-day for that; and it is now some time since your ways of going on have been the amusement of everybody. (MR. JOUR: And who may everybody be, please?) Everybody is a body who is in the right, and who has more sense than you. For my part, I am quite shocked at the life you lead. I don't know our home again. One would think, by what goes on, that it was one everlasting carnival here; and as soon as day breaks, for fear we should have any rest in it, we have a regular din of fiddles and singers, that are a positive nuisance to all the neighbourhood.
