Widow. Let me go, goblin!-You are a hideous person, and I hate the sight of you! Your breast is flint! Flint! Unfeeling Gorgon, and I abominate you! [Exit, R. Sophia. (c.) Nay, you are a kind, good cross old soul; and I am sure you will forgive my poor ma'! We ought all to forget and forgive! Ought not we,

Mr Dornton ?

Harry. Do you hear her, sir? [To Mr. DORNTON. Dorn. (R.c.) Harry has told me of your innocent, pure, and unsuspecting heart-I love you for having called me an ugly monster!

Sophia. (To HARRY.) could you

La, Mr. Dornton, how

Sulky. (R. c.) Harry-Give me your hand-You have a generous and a noble nature! But your generosity would have proved more pernicious than even your dissipation. No misfortunes, no, not to the beggary and ruin of a father, could justify so unprincipled a marriage!

Dorn. And now (To Mr. SULKY) my friend!
Mil. My father!

Harry. (c.) My-!

Sulky. Whoo!

If you wish to get another word from me to-night, have done. [Turning to SILKY.] I hate fawning.

Sil. (R.) Ah, Mr. Sulky, you will have your humour. Sulky. (R.) The indiscriminating generosity of this young man supported you in your day of distress; for which, serpent-like, you turned to sting your preserver. Sil. Ah, you will have your humour.

To

Sulky. Yes; and it is my humour to see that your villainy shall be exposed in its true colours. Hypocrisy, falsehood, and fraud, are your familiars. screen your avarice, you made it believed that this gentleman had been the cause of lodging the detainers, and had done the dirty work of which even you were ashamed. But the creditors shall receive their full demand.

Dorn. (R. c.) The proposal is just. Listen to that worthy man; and if you can, be honest with a good grace. Every thing will then be readily adjusted, and I hope to the satisfaction of all parties.

THE END.
