But it may be ask'd, Cou'd he not have done that without exposing so many great Genius's? Had it not been better to have let Mr. Durfey alone? Tho' even this Method wou'd not have pleas'd every body; for whate'er Effect it has had on Mr. Vanbroug and Congreve; Motteux and Guildon resent it to the last degree.

At length steps were heard in the hall, and a servant open'd the door. "Where is Giles?" ask'd the Colonel. "Why are you taking his place?" "Giles can't be found, your honor." "Hey?"

He was thin, with a blue nose, and wore a green uniform like the rest: only his carriage proved him a man of authority. This Captain Stubbs listened, you may be sure, with a bright'ning eye to the sergeant's story; and at the close fix'd an inquisitive gaze on the pair of us, turning the King's letter over and over in his hands.
