Counsellor. Hush! he is coming. [Exit with Lewis.—Clerk steps aside].
(Enter Servant, followed by PHILIP.)
Serv. Be so good as to wait here a few minutes; My Lord will come directly. [Exit.
Philip [not observing the Clerk]. Now I am here.——At length—Oh, my heart——
Clerk. Sir!
Philip [turning hastily]. Hah! I beg your pardon; I did not know——
Clerk. My Lord is very sorry that indispensable business obliges him to detain you for a few moments, but he will hasten to have the honour——
Philip [walking up and down]. Very well.
Clerk. I am very happy that chance thus gives me an opportunity of commencing an acquaintance with you.
