I am old in the ways of the world, man; and I know that such as thou do not drop words in vain, or thrust themselves upon the dangerous confidence of men like me save with the prospect of advancing some purpose of their own.

Captaine Fenton. Captaine Yorke. Captaine Best.
"My lord," said Albany, "the Earl of Crawford and I had presumed, without consulting you, to ratify that preliminary, for the adoption of which we saw much and pressing reason." "How! the Earl of Crawford!" said the King. "Methinks he is a young counsellor on such grave occurrents."
