H. My sweet girl! I will give you the best account I can—unless you would rather go and judge for yourself.
S. I cannot.
H. Yes, you shall go with me, and you shall go with honour—you know what I mean.
S. You know it is not in your power to take me so.
H. But it soon may: and if you would consent to bear me company, I would swear never to think of an Italian woman while I am abroad, nor of an English one after I return home. Thou art to me more than thy whole sex.
S. I require no such sacrifices.
H. Is that what you thought I meant by sacrifices last night? But sacrifices are no sacrifices when they are repaid a thousand fold.
S. I have no way of doing it.
H. You have not the will.—
S. I must go now.
