We are now going to enter upon a new scene of events.------
----Leave we then the breeches in the taylor's hands, with my father standing over him with his cane, reading him as he sat at work a lecture upon the _latus clavus_, and pointing to the precise part of the waistband, where he was determined to have it sewed on.----
Leave we my mother--(truest of all the _Pococurantes_ of her sex!)--careless about it, as about everything else in the world which concerned her; --that is, --indifferent whether it was done this way or that, --provided it was but done at all.----
Leave we _Slop_ likewise to the full profits of all my dishonours.------
Leave we poor _Le Fever_ to recover, and get home from _Marseilles_ as he can. ----And last of all, --because the hardest of all----
Let us leave, if possible, _myself_: ----But 'tis impossible, --I must go along with you to the end of the work.

Leave we my mother, careless about it, as about everything else in the world which concerned her; that is, indifferent as to how it was done, provided it was but done at all.
Leave we Slop likewise to the profits of my dishonours.
Leave we poor Le Fever to get home from Marseilles as best he can. And last of all, because the hardest of all-
Let us leave, if possible, myself. - But 'tis impossible; I must go along with you to the end of the work.
