Miss. Yes; but you know, sweet things are bad for the teeth.
Neverout. [to lady Answ.] Madam, I don't like that part of the veal you sent me.
Lady Answ. Well, Mr. Neverout, I find you are a true Englishman; you never know when you are well.
Col. Well, I have made my whole dinner of beef.
Lady Answ. Why, colonel, a bellyfull's a bellyfull, if it be but of wheat straw.
Col. Well, after all, kitchen physick is the best physick.
Lady Smart. And the best doctors in the world are doctor diet, doctor quiet, and doctor merryman.
Ld. Sparkish.. "What do you think of a little house well fill'd?
Sir John. And a little land well till'd?
Col. Ay; and a little wife well will'd?
Neverout. My lady Smart, pray help me to some of the breast of that goose.
Ld. Smart. Tom, I have heard that goose upon goose is false heraldry.
Miss. What! will you never have done stuffing?
Ld. Smart. This goose is quite raw: well, God sends meat, but the devil sends cooks.
Neverout. Miss, can you tell which is the gander, the white goose or the gray goose?
Miss. They say, a fool will ask more questions than the wisest body can answer.
Col. Indeed, miss, Tom Neverout has posed you.
Miss. Why, colonel, every dog has his day; but I believe I shall never see a goose again without thinking of Mr. Neverout.
