~ ~ ~ Sentence 438 ~ ~ ~
Why, sir, ever since your mother's uncle, Sir Stanly Egerton, left you this three thousand pounds a year, and that you have, in compliance with his will, taken up the name of Egerton, they think you are grown proud;--that you have estranged yourself fra the Macsycophants--have associated with your mother's family--with the opposeetion, and with those who do not wish well till Scotland;----besides, sir, the other day, in a conversation at dinner at your cousin Campbel M'Kenzie's, before a whole table-full of your ain relations, did not you publicly wish a total extinguishment of aw party, and of aw national distinctions whatever, relative to the three kingdoms?--[_With great anger._] And you blockhead-- was that a prudent wish before so many of your ain countrymen?--or was it a filial language to hold before me?
~ ~ ~ Sentence 449 ~ ~ ~
Then damn you, sir,--you are nai true Scot.--Ay, sir, you may look as angry as you will,--but again I say--you are nai true Scot.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 496 ~ ~ ~
I must keep a devilish tight hand upon this fallow, I see,--or he will be touched with the patriotic frenzy of the times, and run counter till aw my designs.--I find he has a strong inclination to have a judgment of his ain, independent of mine, in aw political matters;--but as soon as I have finally settled the marriage writings with my lord, I will have a thorough expostulation with my gentleman, I am resolved,--and fix him unalterably in his political conduct.--Ah!--I am frighted out of my wits, lest his mother's family should seduce him to desert to their party, which would totally ruin my whole scheme, and break my heart.--A fine time of day for a blockhead to turn patriot;--when the character is exploded--marked--proscribed;--why the common people--the vary vulgar--have found out the jest, and laugh at a patriot now-a-days,---just as they do at a conjurer,--a magician,--or any other impostor in society.-- _Enter_ TOMLINS, _and Lord_ LUMBERCOURT.

Doubtless, sir, you are a blockhead:--nai, sir, I'll tell you how I raised it.

To make love till me.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,155 ~ ~ ~
No, no.--Come away, Counsellor Plausible;--come away, I say;--let them chew upon it.--Why, counsellor, did you ever see so impertinent, so meddling, and so obstinate a blockhead, as that Serjeant Eitherside?
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,443 ~ ~ ~
damn the fellow!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,466 ~ ~ ~
Besides, sir, he has made love-verses upon her in praise of her virtue, and her playing upon the music.--Ay!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,575 ~ ~ ~
I see my folly now.--I am undone by mine ain policy.--This Sidney is the last man that shou'd have been about my son:--The fellow, indeed, hath given him principles, that might have done vary weel among the ancient Romans,--but are damn'd unfit for the modern Britons.--Weel, guin I had a thousand sons, I never wou'd suffer one of these English, university-bred fellows to be about a son of mine again;--for they have sic an a pride of literature and character, and sic saucy, English notions of liberty continually fermenting in their thoughts, that a man is never sure of them.

in short, the hussy, you must know, is married till the fellow.
