Falkner. (enters suddenly.) They shall! behold me here, thou miscreant, to urge it! justice and revenge you call for, and they shall both fall heavily upon you.
Sir. R. Falkner!
O’Ded. What! Abel Grouse, Mr. Falkner! here’s a transmogrification for you!
Sir R. How! Falkner and the unknown cottager the same person!
Falk. Ay, sir; the man who cautioned you today in vain; who warned you of the precipice beneath your feet, and was unheeded by you—
Sir R. Amazement! what would you have me do?
Falk. Before this company assist me with the power you possess (and that power is ample) to compel your haughty nephew to repair the injury, which, in a humbler character, he has done me—
Lord A. He compel me! ridiculous!
Falk. (to sir Rowland.) Insensible to injury and insult, can nothing move you? Reveal your secret!
Lord A. I’ll hear no more. Summon the officers I say. I am resolved.
