So, so, there's enough of it--it will never do--here. I don't come often to Town--but when I do, I generally see everything strange. Here, here's three Shillings for you. (Jack: What is this more of your Raillery, Sir?) There, take it (Throws the Money down)--you're worth three Shillings of any man's Money, and so now I'll go and see the Dromedary, and the tall man at Charing Cross. ((Enter.) SIR ROBERT) (Sir Robert: Well, Mr. Quicksett, I told you he was reform'd.) No, no it will never do--he is reform'd indeed! To be plain with you Sir Robert, he's little better than a Monkey, I think. I have heard how he had the Mob at his heels today, and I don't wonder at it. There's no harm done, Sir Robert, I'll take the Girl into the Country with me.
