"Well, Polly, you may say that my cab will be otherwise engaged.I should not like to have it pasted over with their great bills,and as to making Jack and Captain race about to the public-housesto bring up half-drunken voters, why, I think 'twould be an insultto the horses. No, I shan't do it."

"I suppose you'll vote for the gentleman? He exclaimed he was of your politics."

"So he is in some skinnygs, but I shall not vote for him, Polly;you know what his trade is?"
