Char. Did you? Then I advise you to remove into it again, and the sooner the better. I'd have you to know, madam, there is a material difference between certain persons and certain persons. Much depends upon the manner in which one has been educated. I think, madam, it would only be proper if you resigned your room to me.
Mrs. H. If the Countess desires it, certainly.
Char. The Countess! Very pretty, indeed! Would you have me think of plaguing her ladyship with such trifles? I shall order my trunk to be carried where-ever I please.
Mrs. H. Certainly; only not into my chamber.
Char. Provoking creature! But how could I expect to find breeding among creatures born of one knows not whom, and coming one knows not whence?
Mrs. H. The remark is very just.
Enter Peter, in haste.
Pet. Oh lud! Oh lud! Oh lud! Oh lud!
Mrs. H. What's the matter?
Pet. The child has fallen into the river! His little Excellency is drowned!
