Charles. Will not the choice I have made procure your forgiveness, sir!
Poly. Let me intercede for them. Remember the lecture you have just delivered to me. Practice what you preach. Besides, you can’t unmarry them, you know.
Eustace. And when I had another scheme in view for him?
Poly. It is all as it should be. You wished him to marry—what can it signify?—there he is, without farther ado, ready married to your hands.
Robin. You save the trouble and expense of a wedding.
Harriet. You have a daughter who will love you.
Molly. And a little grandson ready made, master.
Eustace. But the example——
Molly. ’Tis a good one, master; and, if you please, Robin and I will follow it.
Eustace. Well—well—since it is so: but there is a little urchin who, I foresee, will one of these days play us a similar trick.
