Frog pulled his bill out of his pocket, and began to read.
Nicholas Frog's Account.
Remains to be deducted out of the former Account.
Paid by Nic.

Frog for his share of the ordinary expenses of the suit ..
To Hocus for entries of a rege inconsulto..
To John Bull's nephew for a venire facias, the money not yet all laid out..
The coach-hire for my wife and family, and the carriage of my goods during the time of this lawsuit..
For the extraordinary expenses of feeding my family during this lawsuit..
To Major Ab...
To Major Will...
And summing all up, found due upon the balance by John Bull to Nic.
Frog, 9 pounds 4 shillings and 6 pence.
JOHN BULL .-- As for your venire facias, I have paid you for one already; in the other I believe you will be nonsuited.

I'll take care of my nephew myself.

Your coach-hire and family charges are most unreasonable deductions; at that rate, I can bring in any man in the world my debtor.
But who the devil are those two majors that consume all my money?
I find they always run away with the balance in all accounts.
NIC.

FROG .-- Two very honest gentlemen, I assure you, that have done me some service.
