Matthews (seeing Trim)
Please? Ah, you here. I'm very glad to find you, Mr. Scamp.
Trim
Good day, sir, how are you?
Matthews
That has nothing to do with your business.
Trim Pardon, sir. The interest that I take in your precious health from the moment that I am separated from you, creates in my foreboding heart, sentiments of the most lively tenderness, and delivers it into the turmoil of the excess of both tender and passionate emotions. Now, you are well, and I rejoice over it.
Matthews
Double crosser! It's not a question of this gammon you are telling me.
Trim
Anything you please. What is it a question of?
Matthews
Tell me where my son has been for the last week!
Trim
Didn't he tell you?
Matthews
He told me that he was at Cliffordshire Manor.
Trim
Well, that's the truth.
