[In long narrative of shipwreck:]
But I well remember, you always laugh'd at my manner of
relating a story with says I and says he, without which, I
can no more connect my tale, than I could splice a two inch
rope without a marling-spike, or make a sea-pye without
onions; I shall therefore avoid your jeers, by putting it in
the form of a dialogue, and begin as the play books do.
Enter Quash, Quambo, Coroma (Quash's wife) and Roxfield your
humble servant. . .
