Mr. D. Good morning, Lewis; I did not expect to meet you, we are so seldom favoured with your visits.
Lewis. I am afraid of interfering with more important concerns.
Mr. D. I am indeed much concerned for you.
Lewis [with politeness]. You have always been so attentive to my interest, I am entirely convinced.
Mr. D. You are not convinced.
Lewis. Upon my honour.
Mr. D. Why this forced politeness? I do not wish it. You cannot judge of my actions, or their motives; but I am still your friend. The common frailties of youth I can overlook; but dissimulation, it is true, I cannot bear.
Lewis. You cannot surely accuse me of that.
Mr. D. Give me proofs, and I will thank you.
Lewis. How can I, being entirely misunderstood?
