 and dine. Here was he, a boy, with his rough, 

 shooting dress on, dining with Judges, Sheriffs, 

 and Generals, and with the Chief Magistrate of

 Chief Magistrate of very great talents, but in 

 whom empty pride forms no ingredient. Big 

 wigs and long robes and supercilious airs, are 

 necessary only when the object is to deceive 

 and overawe the people. Til engage that to 

 supply Judge Laurence's house that one week 

 required a greater sacrifice of animal life thaa 

 merciful Gibbs's kitchen demands in a year: 

 but, then, our hearty and liberal neighbour 

 never deals in human sacrifices.
