Pretty creatures, they seem as if they belonged to you.
CHARLES.
That they do certainly, because they are accustomed to eat out of my hand.
WILLIAM.
They appear to know you, but how do they distinguish betwixt you and me?
CHARLES.
It is certain that they have the power to discern, for I have often seen, when I come with my hat on they fly away; and I conclude from that circumstance, this faculty of discernment, which I am sure they possess, is very weak, or they would always know me.
EMILIA.
You are very good to your birds, brother; but Edward let his linnet die with hunger. If I was to do so, I should never forgive myself.
CHARLES.
