Harry. Dilly, I must. You cannot understand it. I am accused of a crime, with no power to prove myself innocent. The time will come when I can prove it. Till then, I shall go from here.
Dilly. Oh, take me with you, Harry! take me with you! You are the one I love best in the world. I should die without you!
Harry. No, Dilly: you must stay here. Be good and gentle with father, and watch, Dilly, watch; for the time will come when even a little maid like you can serve me.
Doctor. Oh the villain, the villain! to seek to plunder his old father! The villain, the villain! Has he gone?
Harry. In one moment, doctor: my presence is hateful to you. I have disobeyed you, and must bide the consequences. Farewell! Where’er I go, I shall always remember you as the kindest and best of fathers. Farewell!
Butts. Stop! You are my prisoner.
All. Prisoner?
Doctor. No, no, Butts! Let him go. I make no charge.
Butts. But the bank does. I have a warrant for his arrest.
Dilly. You mean old Butts! You’re always sticking your nose into other people’s business.
