Volume 1 (of 2)

CHAPTER XVIII
6/7

I not only shall go, but I intend to have most particular notice and attention paid me.

I shall be prime favorite with Sir George, kiss Lucy--" "Come, come, this is too strong." "What do you bet I don't?

"With all my heart.

That I kiss Miss Dashwood, and am not kicked down-stairs for my pains." "Then, I say, done." "And with you, too, O'Malley ?" "I thank you," said I, coldly; "I am not disposed to make such a return for Sir George Dashwood's hospitality as to make an insult to his family the subject of a bet." "Why, man, what are you dreaming of?
Miss Dashwood will not refuse my chaste salute.

Come, Power, I'll give you the other pony." "Agreed," said he.
