Act the Third—contains the éclaircissements and final arrangement between Casimere, Matilda, and Cecilia; which so nearly resemble the concluding act of Stella, that we forbear to lay it before our readers.
ACT IV.
Scene, the Inn door; Diligence drawn up.—Casimere appears superintending the package of his portmanteaus, and giving directions to the Porters.
Enter Beefington and Puddingfield.
Pudd. Well, Coachey, have you got two inside places?
Coach. Yes, your Honour.
Pudd. [seems to be struck with Casimere’s appearance. He surveys him earnestly without paying any attention to the Coachman, then doubtingly pronounces] Casimere!
Cas. [turning round rapidly, recognizes Puddingfield, and embraces him.] My Puddingfield!
Pudd. My Casimere!
Cas. What, Beefington too! [discovering him]—then is my joy complete.
