Lord A. Further discussion, sir, is useless. If I am to be disappointed in this marriage, a still more strict attention to my own affairs is necessary.
Sir R. I appeal fearlessly to this man, who has betrayed me, whether your interest was not my sole motive in the appropriation of your property.
Lord A. That assertion, sir, I was prepared to hear, but will not listen to.
Sir R. Beware, lord Austencourt, beware how you proceed!
Lord A. Do you again threaten me? (to O’Dedimus) are my orders obeyed? is every thing in readiness?
O’Ded. The officers are in waiting!
Charles. Hold, monster! Proceed at your peril. To me you shall answer this atrocious conduct.
Lord A. To you!
Charles. Ay, sir, to me, if you have the courage of a man.
Lord A. I will no longer support these insults. Call in the officers.
