Harriet. Harriet deserves not praise so great as thine.

End of the Third Act.

ACT IV.

Scene I. Trueman's House.

Trueman [solus].

I sincerely lament this unfortunate dispute.—I know Harriet loves that young fellow, though he has been so long absent; and, therefore, I regret it; for, to what end do I live but to see her happy!—But I will not give way to his father;—perhaps he may think better of the matter, for I know him to be of a placable nature, though passionate;—and yet he seems to be inflexible in his resolution.

Enter Humphry.

Humphry. Sarvint, Mr. Schoolmaster;—here's a challenge for you.

[Gives Trueman the barber's note.
