Father! father! here is the letter, here it is; and another Bank-note in it, I dare say, for it feels thick.

My good Charley! I am afraid he hurts himself to serve me.

And father, some more wine too. The wine|merchant, he with the great red nose, was at the post|office at the same time with me, and had just got an order to send you another hamper full. Isaac is gone to fetch it.

A hamper full?

There will be some of that for you, Master Boni|face. But mean time, we have a little of the last left. You 〈◊〉 drink with me while you read the letter. Go, dame and b• as th•t bottle and three glasses, with a 〈◊〉 of bread and ch•e. We will make a breakfast of it Page  51here under the tree. Bring out a table, Cicely. Make haste.

But pray, now, do not read the letter without us.

Never fear. You know, I cannot read before I break my fast.
