How do you mean, my Lord; as to the choice of a wife?--

Why, I think, Sir, there's no other way of settling to one's

matters,--especially as you are the last of a noble family:--when, you

do fix, I hope it will be _prudently_.

_Prudently_, Sir James! you may depend on it I will never settle my

affections _imprudently_.
