Inscribed: Inscribed with three paragraphs or stanzas of poetry: Remember well and bear in mind/ A Faithfull friend is hard to find/ But when you find one just and true/ Never change to told one for a new/ Save me O Lord from/ Foolish pride/ Or impious discontent/ At aught thy/ Wisdom has deny>ed/ Or aught the goodness lent/ Teach me to feel/ Another's woe/ and hide the faults I see/ The mercy I to Others shew That mercy shew to me Jane Singleton/Aged 12 years"

Robert Macaire, salesman in Bibles. - (Bertrand): The subscribers claim that we are swindlers, thieves... I mean purloiners, and they are kicking... er, I mean, turning us out. - (Robert): What expressions to use, you rascal... you must address me more decently or I kick... er, I mean push you out of the door. It's you highfaluting manner, your high pitched twaddle, that riles the subscribers. Stop that! If they throw you out of the door, go back through the rear window... if they slap your face, turn your other cheek... but don't you come back here without subscriptions, or I ... well, never mind!
