l^'enaton O, me ! It is fortunate 

 I brought my cheque-book with me. 

 But, before we proceed farther, let 

 me beg a courtesy of you : but it 

 must not be denied me. 



^^l]SCatOt% What is it, I pray, 

 Sir ? You are so modest, so accom- 

 plished, so gentle, and so simple, that 

 I may promise to grant it before it 

 is asked. 



ITcnator. Ay, Sir, but after? 



^3tjSCatOl% Well, Sir, by that 

 time I shall be able to judge of the 

 request itself, when perhaps my licence 

 might be revoked on the merits. But 

 what is it ? 



IJenatOlV Why, Sir, it is that, 

 henceforth, you would allow me to 

 call you Master^ and that I may be 

 your Scholar.
