Jests Home
AN artist named Forfeit, having some job to do for Foote, got into a
foolish scrape about the antiquity of family with another artist, who
gave him such a drubbing as confined him to his bed for a considerable
time. Forfeit! Forfeit! said Foote, why, surely you have the best of

at the same time the most numerous of any on the face of the globe, on
the authority of Shakespeare:--
All the souls that are, were Forfeit once.
