Ac. Pox ! I do not feel it How ? where ?
[Exeimt Pip and Trimmer laughing.
Ac. Ho ! Mr. Friendly, your most humble ser- vant; you heard what passed between those fine gentlemen and me. Pip complained to me, that he had been voweled; and they tell me I am bit.
Friend. You are to understand. Sir, that simpli- city of behaviour, which is the perfection of good N° 12. TATLER. 95 breeding and good sense, is utterly lost in the world ; and in the room of it there are started a thousand little inventi...ons, which men, barren of better things, take up in the place of it. Thus for every character in conversation that used to please, there is an im- postor put upon you. Him whom we allowed, for- merly, for a certain pleasant subtlety and natural way of giving you an unexpected hit, called a Droll, is now mimicked by a Biter, who is a dull fellow, that tells you a lie with a grave face, and laughs at you for knowing no better than to believe him. Instead of that sort of companion who could rally you, and keep his countenance, until he made you fall into some little inconsistency of behaviour, at which you yourself could laugh with him, you have the sneerer, who will keep you company from morning to night, to gather your follies of the day (which perhaps you commit out of confidence in him) and expose you in the evening to all the scorners in town.
