Ermyntrude: Father——

Sladder: Well?

Ermyntrude: Be kind to him, father.

Sladder: O, I'll be kind to him. I'll be kind to him. Just you wait. I'll be kind to him!

Ermyntrude: But you wouldn't send him away, father. Father, for my sake you wouldn't do that?

Sladder: O, we haven't come to that yet.

Ermyntrude: But, but—you've sent for him.

Sladder: O, I've sent for him to give him What For. We'll come to the rest later.

Ermyntrude: But, when you do come to it, father.
