Let there be degrees in every thing but happiness; and, 'fore George, if any servant in this house be sober enough to wait on you at supper, I'll discharge him to-morrow morning.-Poor fellows! must not make them ill, though. Never mind-come along, Sally. [Crosses to Sally, R. Sal. Oh, you are a nice old man! Ros. [To Egerton and Greville.] If I must have thanks, gentlemen, let me receive them here. [Kissing the ladies' hands.] Happy fellows! you are to be envied. Mrs. G. So are you. We have received happiness: you have given it. Rose. Your fortunes, sir, will be our peculiar care. Ros. Thank you, dear ladies; but, with your permission, I'll stick to my trade.
