CRAFTON.

GRAFTON.
No I thank you; it can be settled in a few words.
CHARVILLE.
Well, Sir.
CRAFTON.
Our neighbour Dobson is going to sell his little farm; now it is a desirable possession for either of us, and I should like to add it to my own estate; yet I would by no means enter into competition with a purchaser of your calibre.
CHARVILLE.
I am very much obliged to you, Mr. Crafton; I'll consider of it; it is a very good aspect for apple trees.
