Dorothy. As you do? Do you forgive me, John?

Fenwick. Ay, more than that, poor soul. I said my life was done, I was wrong; I have still a duty. It is not in vain you taught me; I shall still prove to you that it was not in vain. You shall soon find that I am no backward friend. Farewell.

SCENE I

Austin, Menteith

Menteith. At the barber’s, Mr. George, I had the pleasure of meeting two of the Dook’s gentlemen.

Menteith. Quite so, Mr. George. Delighted, I believe.
