BARON.
But him?

AMELIA.
Yes, him.

BARON.
Very fine indeed! And what was his answer?

AMELIA.
He talked of my rank in life; of my aunts and cousins; of my grandfather, and great-grandfather; of his duty to you; and endeavoured to persuade me to think no more of him.

BARON.
He acted honestly.

AMELIA.
But not politely.

BARON.
No matter.

AMELIA.
Dear father! I shall never be able to love another—Never be happy with any one else. [Throwing herself on her knees.]

BARON.
Rise, I command you.

[As she rises, enter ANHALT.]
