Correct CH - you're up.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you,
S Adams

Expanded quote wrote:"You left the zzzzz with a most serious expression on his face," observed Y. "That's not what you wish to do with a man who has no wife. You want to put him at ease."
"He asked me some most serious questions" replied X, "and I made the mistake of replying seriously."
X?
He?
