Benjamin. I'm very glad you came—but where is Thomas?
Wm. (severely). Tom is a wicked boy, and better from us,
For on the road he stopped to scale a wall!...
[Sees Man-trap, and starts.
What's that?
Benj. It will not hurt good boys at all—
It's only Father's Man-trap—why so pale?
Wm. The self-same tree!... the wall that Tom would scale!
Where's Thomas now? Ah, Tom, the wilful pride of you!
[The Man-trap affects an elaborate unconsciousness.
