ALBERT.
You will have many opponents.
SOPHIA.
I heed them not.
WEDGEWOOD.
All will be zeal throughout the manufactory.
SOPHIA.
So much the greater need for my perseverance.
ALBERT.
Some will be excited with the hope of gaining their liberty.
SOPHIA.
Oh, blessed hope!
WEDGEWOOD.
Some stimulated by the crowns.—Not at all odd.—It would be odd if they were not!
SOPHIA.
But none have so strong a motive for exertion as I have.
COUNT (with enthusiasm.)
Nobly resolved! I will assist you with every faculty I possess.
ALBERT (with the same feeling.)
And I!
