I introjuiced myself to these Jents, and intend to improve the equaintance, and peraps ast Guvmint for a Barnetcy. "But there was ANOTHER pusn womb on this droring-room I fust had the inagspressable dalite to beold.
One of them was a brave warner, and kep HIS cup; they strangled the other chap strangled him, and laffed at him too. With respeck, then, to the barnetcy pint, this is my advice: brazen it out. Us littery men I take to be like a pack of schoolboys childish, greedy, envius, holding by our friends, and always ready to fight. What must be a man's conduck among such?

If you were ever at a great school, you must recklect who was the boy most bullid, and buffited, and purshewd he who minded it most.
I'd lay a wager that you make, with one thing or another plays, novvles, pamphlicks, and little odd jobbs here and there your three thowsnd a year. There's many a man, dear Bullwig that works for less, and lives content. Why shouldn't you? Three thowsnd a year is no such bad thing, let alone the barnetcy: it must be a great comfort to have that bloody hand in your skitching.
