How! has she told you all?
CHARLES.
Yes, she has told me you would fly from her, you, her only son, and that it will cost her her life. What a proof of tenderness! Can you be unconcerned?
BRADLEY.
My mother is in necessitous circumstances; she cannot support me according to my birth.
CHARLES.
It is noble in you not to wish to be a burthen to your mother; a son of your age should not expect a support, except his parents are blest with affluence. But I have been informed you are very ingenious, and have received a good education; heaven has not given you these talents for no purpose.
BRADLEY.
I must endeavour to advance my fortune in a foreign country.
CHARLES.
