fellow--I believe I had better remember him, until I can get out of
his sight; but out of sight out of mind, agad. [Aside.]

SHARP. Methought the service I did you last night, sir, in
preserving you from those ruffians, might have taken better root in
your shallow memory.

SIR JO. Gads-daggers-belts-blades and scabbards, this is the very
gentleman! How shall I make him a return suitable to the greatness
of his merit? I had a pretty thing to that purpose, if he ha'n't
frighted it out of my memory. Hem! hem! sir, I most submissively
implore your pardon for my transgression of ingratitude and
omission; having my entire dependence, sir, upon the superfluity of
your goodness, which, like an inundation, will, I hope, totally
immerge the recollection of my error, and leave me floating, in
your sight, upon the full-blown bladders of repentance--by the help
of which, I shall once more hope to swim into your favour. [Bows.]

SHARP. So-h, oh, sir, I am easily pacified, the acknowledgment of
a gentleman -

SIR JO. Acknowledgment! Sir, I am all over acknowledgment, and
will not stick to show it in the greatest extremity by night or by
day, in sickness or in health, winter or summer; all seasons and
occasions shall testify the reality and gratitude of your
superabundant humble servant, Sir Joseph Wittoll, knight. Hem!
hem!

SHARP. Sir Joseph Wittoll?
