MR. ANHALT.
Compose yourself. Agatha’s heart is to be your judge.
Enter AMELIA.
BARON.
Amelia, you have a brother.
AMELIA.
I have just heard so, my Lord; and rejoice to find the news confirmed by you.
BARON.
I know, my dear Amelia, I can repay you for the loss of Count Cassel; but what return can I make to you for the loss of half your fortune?
AMELIA.
My brother’s love will be ample recompense.
BARON.
I will reward you better. Mr. Anhalt, the battle I have just fought, I owe to myself: the victory I gained, I owe to you. A man of your principles, at once a teacher and an example of virtue, exalts his rank in life to a level with the noblest family—and I shall be proud to receive you as my son.
MR. ANHALT.
[falling on his knees, and taking the Baron’s hand]. My Lord, you overwhelm me with confusion, as well as with joy.
BARON.
My obligations to you are infinite—Amelia shall pay the debt. [Gives her to him.]
AMELIA.
Oh, my dear father! [embracing the Baron] what blessings have you bestowed on me in one day. [to Anhalt.] I will be your scholar still, and use more diligence than ever to please my master.
