Hotham! Then I am not deceived in your friendship?
HOTHAM.
Just as little, since our commercial treaty is doomed, as I am mistaken in your chances, despite arrest and displeasure. But come now, come to that friendly goblin who will work for us—to the mysterious spirit on whose account we will keep this corner of the world in anxiety and terror—your doughty rival but your still doughtier ally.
PRINCE (in laughing surprise).
You mean?
HOTHAM.
The Prince of Wales. [They both go out.]
