his_o lady_n and_o his_o sister_n mistress_n lee_n i_o tell_v maddock_n that_o i_o wonder_v extreme_o at_o his_o baseness_n have_v nothing_o to_o do●_n but_o to_o invent_v lie_n for_o to_o set_v

stay_v for_o i_o the_o field_n be_v very_o dry_a and_o a_o pleasant_a and_o a_o usual_a walk_n so_o our_o horse_n be_v go_v we_o go_v the_o usual_a footway_n which_o go_v just_a by_o sir_n hugh_n

be_v first_o to_o get_v under_o it_o and_o dod_n find_v that_o there_o be_v no_o go_v back_o without_o danger_n of_o be_v carry_v away_o make_v he_o as_o it_o seem_v resolve_v to_o make_v his_o way_n

he_o may_v have_v knock_n out_o my_o brain_n so_o violent_a a_o blow_n he_o make_v at_o i_o beside_o if_o we_o have_v intend_v to_o kill_v he_o we_o shall_v have_v charge_v our_o pistol_n rather_o with_o bullet_n then_o with_o beat_a pepper_n such_o small_a shot_n as_o will_v hardly_o kill_v a_o sparrow_n and_o for_o the_o gentleman_n that_o do_v it_o he_o never_o see_v dod_n before_o that_o

be_v use_v what_o be_v they_o that_o do_v it_o only_o the_o scum_n and_o rascality_n of_o the_o people_n and_o i_o hope_v no_o english_a man_n have_v the_o heart_n to_o think_v that_o a_o gentleman_n upon_o any_o term_n whatsoever_o will_v undertake_v to_o murder_v a_o man_n without_o any_o occasion_n give_v he_o and_o indeed_o it_o grieve_v i_o to_o find_v that_o our_o english_a nation_n afford_v
