WAITWELL.

Mellefont, Norton.
MELLEFONT (in dressing-gown, sitting in an easy chair).

If I remained alone with my thoughts any longer, they might carry me too far. Hey, Norton! He is still asleep. But is not it cruel of me, not to let the poor devil sleep? How happy he is! However, I do not wish any one about me to be happy! Norton!
