The poor woman being in great straits, and her purse being empty her attorney told her plainly, as her money was done he could no longer defend her. The woman once more plucked up her heart, and went to London to employ a new attorney to speak for her: but for want of gold none would undertake it. George being in a house where he heard the poor woman making a mournful complaint to one of her attorneys, who gave her no comfort nor satisfaction; for when she told him she had no money to spend, or give in defence of it, the attorney went away and would hear no more of the woman's grievous complaint, which made George laugh very heartily, while the poor woman eat weeping like one distracted. Poor woman, says George, you need not think that man will speak a word for you, unless you had bro't a purse of gold to loose his tongue: but as I have got a scheme of the matter, you may go home, and rest yourself contented until the time come, and then my life for your's, that I shall send you an attorney that that will do your business for nothing.
