He says he has no vices and is very economical, but that theres one extravagance he cant afford and yet cant resist; and that is dressing his wife prettily. So I said, bang plump out, "Let me lend you twenty pounds, and pay me when your ship comes home." He was really very nice about it.

B: But, my dear Walpole, he had just borrowed ten pounds from me.) What! SIR PATRICK (grunts)!
