CHAPTER LII I attempt to recover my Watch and Jewel, but to no Purpose-

resolve to revenge myself on Strutwell by my Importunity-am reduced to

my last Guinea-obliged to inform Strap of my Necessity, who is almost

distracted with the News, but nevertheless obliged to pawn my best Sword

for present Subsistence-that small Supply being exhausted, I am almost

stupified with my Misfortunes-go to the Gaming Table by the Advice of

Banter, and come off with unexpected Success-Strap's Ecstacy-Mrs. Gawky

waits upon me, professes Remorse for her Perfidy, and implores my

Assistance-I do myself a Piece of Justice by her Means, and afterwards

reconcile her to her Father
