There's Mrs. Price going by. I suppose she has been down to cheapen a fowl, or get half a penny or two taken off a joint of meat. She's the stingiest thing, my dear; it would really make your heart ache to hear the way she manages and contrives. And there is her husband one of the richest men in town, and folks do say that he can't get a decent meal of vituals in his own house. Wouldn't you - What! Going! Can't you stay any longer? well, do come again very soon, won't you? Goodbye. - Thank goodness, she has gone! I really thought she was going to stay all night! I heard a nice story about her; by the way last week - how shamefully she treats her servants! suppose she thinks I don't know. I might make mischief enough in her family if I choose. But I abhor scandal.
