REBECCA. Courage, sir—are you sure you can bear it?

REBECCA. Well, then, sir, do you know there’s another besides Mr. Bobbins.

VAN. What’s his name?
REBECCA. Fastman—a very handsome young man. It was only just before you came that he gave me a letter for her.
VAN. Where is it? give it to me.
REBECCA. Here it is in my pocket, sir. (gives him letter)
