Edward. You are right, I deserve it all! Jane, Patrick, forgive me! I beg your pardon.
Jane (looking very sorry). Poor child! poor little fellow!
Patrick. After all, he has not a bad heart!
Edward. Please forget all the injuries I have done to you, and try not to hate me when I am gone. Will you, dear Jane? will you Patrick?
Jane (bursting out crying). Oh! oh! what a pity, what a pity!
Patrick. It is dreadful!
Jane. He will have to plough and hoe in the ground!
Patrick. And kill pigs, and drive the cow!
Jane. Why couldn't that stupid Mary hold her tongue after keeping the secret thirteen years, and settle down for life with that clumsy Edward. I hate the sight of him! I don't believe, but what it is all a trick she is trying to play off.
Patrick. I'll bet my head, it is!
