SCENE III.
Enter Sophia.
Soph. Father, I beg--
Reiss. Yes, you will soon beg.--Begone, be gone!
Soph. Your situation is dreadful, as dreadful as mine. Be kind and just. Lend your helping hand.
Reiss. Be gone to the Carpenter. Out of my sight, be gone, I say!
Soph. I am come,--I cannot leave you till your mind is at ease.
Reiss. I shall be at ease as soon as you depart, the spy of my actions. Be gone, I tell you!
Soph. Father!
Reiss. Begone, I tell you; begone, or I will have thee driven out of my house! Out of my sight, snake, serpent, traitor, spy, begone!
Soph. I have ever obeyed you, and I will even obey this cruel command.
[Exit.
