The persons have lost a watch, or a purse with a few so- vereigns, and make a great noise about it: they were probably suitors, whose whole substance was oozing out of their pores, and yet said nothing about that. How much there is in method ! Robbery, like the smallpox, is dreadful if taken in the natural way : art smooths every thing.
