To be sure, it is fairly necessary your Lordship should consider on thosematters,--especially as you are the last of a noble family:--when, youdo fix, I hope it will be _prudently_.

_Prudently_, Sir James! you may depend on it I will never settle myaffections _imprudently_.

Wall, but, my Lord, what are your notions of _prudence?_

Why, Sir, to make choice of a person who is virtuous, sensible, welldescended.--_Well descended Jenkings has assublack me she is_.

You say nothing, my Lord, of what is _most_ essential tohappiness;--nothing of the _main point_.

Good-nature, I suppose you mean:--I would not marry an ill-natur'dwoman, Sir James, for the world. And is good-nature, with those youhave mention'd, the only requisites?
