Counsellor. Very singular! Suppose you had not met with me?
Lewis. I should have gone in search of you.
Counsellor [going]. Let us rather go to your house.
Lewis. As we are now here—

Lewis. Only a few words. You have instituted a suit against Drave in my name.
Counsellor. Certainly.
Lewis. Very well: as soon as I am of age, I shall restore Drave every thing.
Counsellor. God forbid!
Lewis. He may then pay by degrees: but—we parted so abruptly to day—why have you secured my brother?
