AMELIA.
Oh yes; I like to hear good of every body.
BARON.
But do not you feel a little fluttered when he is talked of?
AMELIA.
No. [shaking her head.]
BARON.
Are not you a little embarrassed?
AMELIA.
No.
BARON.
Don’t you wish sometimes to speak to him, and have not the courage to begin?
AMELIA.
No.
BARON.
Do not you wish to take his part when his companions laugh at him?
AMELIA.
No—I love to laugh at him myself.
BARON.
Provoking! [Aside.] Are not you afraid of him when he comes near you?
