You have bright eyes.

I know your kinsman.

Everybody is my kinsman here.

Yes, I am sure. You have kind eyes.

My kinsman is a blood relation.

You're my blood relation too then.

What a fine back and leg you have!

You're made right.

Oh, I will be made

when I find my kinsman. You

must know him, he's a man of some

importance in your city, Lady.

The Major dwells here.

You're thinking of some other major,

Lady; mine

is

something more

important than a major, he's

a sort of royal governor,

and a man of fortune. Molineux

tea

ships

sail from here to China.

He has a gilded carriage, twenty

serving men, two flags of England

flying from

his

lawn. You could hide

your little house behind a sofa

in

his

drawing-room.

I know,

your kinsman

is

a man of. parts,
