Why, as you say, the match in some respects may be a prudent match--your Estate is a fine one, and when Neighbor Hodge's Lease, and Barnaby Guzzledown's, and two or three more of them fall in--but I forgot to tell you, your old Horse Regulus is dead--I saw him last week--he was a fine Animal in his Time. He was a great while drooping, and he died without a groan. (Sir Robert: So my Steward writes me. But Mr. Quicksett, this is wandering from the Point--my Son--) Is a mere Coxcomb, I hear, since I came to Town--I have no Opinion of your French Education. (Sir Robert: Dear Sir, it is the best thing in the World to reform youth.) I don't know that Sir Robert; I have seen a great many hopefull, promising young Men, come home such mere Ragouts. I'll tell you what, Sir Robert--I was hugely pleas'd with one Inscription I once read in a country church-yard. "Here lies John Trott, an honest Man who was never out of his own Country."
