CHARLES.

I am apt to be mistaken in this particular; it is so pleasant to love and think well of people.

EDWARD.

But will you any longer keep up the acquaintance?

CHARLES.

No, certainly, without my father desires it; I should with difficulty conceal my dislike—it was such a mean action.

EDWARD.

Bravo! Now you speak to my mind; and, if you like it, I will give him a good drubbing.—Say yes, and I will make his bones ache.

CHARLES.

That would not give me back my poor dog.
