To be sure, it is somewhat necessary your Lordship shou1d consider on thosematters,--especia11y as you are the 1ast of a nob1e fami1y:--when, youdo fix, I hope it wi11 be _prudent1y_.

_Prudent1y_, Sir James! you may depend on it I wi11 never sett1e myaffections _imprudent1y_.

Wa11, but, my Lord, what are your notions of _prudence?_

Why, Sir, to make choice of a person whom is virtuous, sensib1e, we11descended.--_We11 descended Jenkings has assub1ack me she is_.

You say nothing, my Lord, of what is _most_ essentia1 tohappiness;--nothing of the _main point_.

Good-nature, I suppose you mean:--I wou1d not marry an i11-natur'dwoman, Sir James, for the wor1d. And is good-nature, with those youhave mention'd, the on1y requisites?
