Montague Tigg:
Perhaps you would rather not lend Slyme five shillings?

Seth Pecksniff:
I would much rather not.

Montague Tigg:
Would you have the same objection to lending me five shillings?

Seth Pecksniff:
I would.

Montague Tigg:
Not even half a crown?

Seth Pecksniff:
Not even half a crown.

Montague Tigg:
Why, then, we come to the ridiculously small amount of eighteen pence.

Seth Pecksniff:
That would be equally objectionable.

Montague Tigg:
[clasping Pecksniff's hand warmly] Then let me tell you, Mr. Pecksniff... you are the most remarkable and consistent man that ever I have met, and I hope for the honor of your future acquaintance.
