Tom Jones 1

Sir, it is as easy for a man not to have
been at school and know something

as it is for a man to have been at school
and know nothing.

Well said, young volunteer.

Upon my word, Northerton, you’d best let
him alone or he’ll prove too hard for you.

Give us a toast, young fellow.
Fill up his cup.

I would like to propose a toast…

to the health, and bless the name…
of Miss Sophie Western.

Sophie Western.

Sophie Western?

I knew one Sophie Western - was lain with
by half the young fellows at Bath.

Perhaps this is the same woman.

Miss Western is a lady
of fashion and fortune.

Oh aye, so she is, so she is!
Aye, it is the same young lady.

I’ll lay half a dozen of Burgundy
Tom French of our regiment

had her in the tavern at Bridge Street!

Sophie Western!

Sir! I can bear no jesting
with this lady’s character.

Jesting? Damn me if I was
ever more in earnest in my life.

Tom French of our regiment
had her and her aunt together at Bath.

You are the most impudent
rascal on earth!

(screaming)

You’ve killed him, you swine!

Zounds, I was but in jest with the fellow.
I never heard of Miss Western in my life.

Then you deserve to be hanged. You are
under arrest. Sergeant, take him away.

Arrest him.
