Oh, after all, what has happened? Has not he written to you, acknowledged his fault, and begged for your forgiveness? This is the only time he has done anything of the sort; why not simply blot it out?
The Chamberlain.

Fieldbo.
He won’t repeat it; that is the main point.
The Chamberlain.
How do you know he will not repeat it?
Fieldbo.
If for no other reason, because of what you yourself told me—the scene with your daughter-in-law. Whatever else comes of it, that will steady him.
The Chamberlain.
