The Palmy Days of Nance Oldfield

CHAPTER IX
21/34

Charges! for what?
"SABLE.

First, twenty guineas to my lady's woman for notice of your death (a fee I've before now known the widow herself go halves in), but no matter for that--in the next place, ten pounds for watching you all your long fit of sickness last winter-- "LORD BRUMPTON.

Watching me?
Why I had none but my own servants by turns! "SABLE.

I mean attending to give notice of your death.

I had all your long fit of sickness, last winter, at half a crown a day, a fellow waiting at your gate to bring me intelligence, but you unfortunately recovered, and I lost all my obliging pains for your service.
"LORD BRUMPTON.
