Soph. Oh, I wish that was settled!
Clar. Do not be uneasy; old Wellenberg has him entirely in his power, and he knows what he is about.
SCENE VIII.
Enter Privy Counsellor Clarenbach.
P. Coun. Sophia, I have kept my word.
Clar. (reaches him his hand.) We have been told so.
Soph. I know it.
P. Coun. My accounts are now settled, and my mind is at ease. I can now call a furnished house and four thousand dollars my own honest property. I have thrown off the burden, I have got rid of a connection that imposed upon me.
Gern. Dear brother! how is it possible that any connection should warp your generous principles.
