I 'd have him rise of a morning before nine o'clock , and be out with his labourers at daybreak . I 'd have him reform a whole lazy household of blackguards , good for nothing but waste and wickedness . I 'd have him apprentice your brother to a decent trade or a light business . I 'd have him declare he 'd kick the first man that called him `` My lord '' ; and for yourself , well , it 's no matter -- ' ` Yes , but it is , godmother , a great matter to me at least .
