_Man._ No, no, your business was to get footing any way. Sir _Fran._ Right! there's it! ay, cousin, I see you know the world! _Man._ Yes, yes, one sees more of it every day----well! but what said my Lord to all this? Sir _Fran._ Sir _Francis_, says he, I shall be glad to serve you any way that lies in my power; so gave me a squeeze by the hond, as much as to say, give yourself no trouble----I'll do your business; with that he turn'd him abawt to somebody with a coloured ribbon across here, that look'd in my thowghts, as if he came for a place too. _Man._ Ha! so, upon these hopes, you are to make your fortune! Sir _Fran._ Why, do you think there's ony doubt of it, Sir? _Man._ Oh no, I have not the least doubt about it----for just as you have done, I made my fortune ten years ago. Sir _Fran._ Why, I never knew you had a place, cousin. _Man._ Nor I neither, upon my faith, cousin. But you perhaps may have better fortune: for I suppose my Lord has heard of what importance you were in the debate to-day----You have been since down at the house, I presume? Sir _Fran._ O yes! I would not neglect the house, for ever so much. _Man._ Well, and pray what have they done there? Sir _Fran._ Why, troth! I can't well tell you, what they have done, but I can tell you what I did: and I think pretty well in the main; only I happened to make a little mistake at last indeed. _Man._ How was that? Sir _Fran._ Why, they were all got there, into a sort of a puzzling debate, about the good of the nation----and I were always for that, you know----but in short, the arguments were so long winded o' both sides, that, waunds! I did no well understand 'em, hawsomever, I was convinc'd, and so resolved to vote right, according to my conscience----so when they came to put the question, as they call it,----I don't know haw 'twas----but I doubt I cry'd ay! when I should ha' cry'd no! _Man._ How came that about? Sir _Fran._ Why, by a mistake, as I tell you----for there was a good-humour'd sort of a gentleman, one Mr. _Totherside_ I think they call him, that sat next me, as soon as I had cry'd ay! gives me a hearty shake by the hand! Sir says he, you are a man of honour, and a true _Englishman_! and I should be proud to be better acquainted with you----and so with that, he takes me by the sleeve, along with the crowd into the lobby, so, I knew nowght----but ods-flesh! I was got o' the wrung side the post--for I were told, afterwards, I should have staid where I was. _Man._ And so, if you had not quite made your fortune before, you have clench'd it now!----Ah! thou head of the _Wrongheads_. Sir _Fran._ Odso! here's my lady come home at last----I hope, cousin, you will be so kind, as to take a family supper with us? _Man._ Another time, Sir _Francis_; but to-night I am engaged! _Enter Lady ~Wronghead~, Miss ~Jenny~, and Count ~Basset~._
