He had been robbed of his child, and Society, speaking in the voice of the Mayor of Gatesboro', said, "Rightly! thou art not fit companion for the innocent!"
There would be one thought paramount throughout Gatesboro'. "The Mayor, God bless him! has been taken in: this must not occur again, or Gatesboro' is dishonoured, and Virtue indeed a name!"

The landlady seated him at her own desk, and thus wrote the Comedian: "Mr. Chapman presents his compliments to the Mayor of Gatesboro', and requests the Honour of a very short interview.
