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.]
