FAIRFAX   He is but a man of poor estate�察�but he hath a loving��

          honest heart。 He will be a true and trusty husband to

          curled up in his heart�察�like a little squirrel in its

          nest��

          breaking。 But now that thine unloving husband is dead��

          and thou art free�察�he would fain pray that thou

          wouldst hearken unto him�察�and give him hope that thou

          wouldst one day be his��

FAIRFAX   Nay�察�that is for Elsie to say。 I promised thee I would

          show thee how to woo�察�and herein lies the proof of the

          virtue of my teaching。 Go thou�察�and apply it

          elsewhere� 。�PHOEBE bursts into tears��

PHOEBE    And I helped that man to escape�察�and I've kept his

          bilious�察�jaundiced jealousy。 So make the most of that��

          Master Wilfred。



WILFRED   But I have never given thee cause for jealousy。 The

          gossips��

          Elsie and and as thou hast shot him through the

          head�察�and he is dead�察�be content with that�察�and I will

          be thy wife��



WILFRED   Is that sure��



PHOEBE    Aye�察�sure enough�察�for there's no help for it� �Thou art

          a very brute but even brutes must marry�察�I suppose。

LEONARD   Phoebe�察�rejoice�察�for I bring glad tidings。 Colonel

          Fairfax's reprieve was signed two days since�察�but it

          was foully and maliciously kept back by Secretary

          Poltwhistle�察�who designed that it should arrive after

          the Colonel's death。 It hath just come to hand�察�and it

          is now in the Lieutenant's possession��



PHOEBE    Then the Colonel is free�拭�Oh�察�kiss me�察�kiss me�察�my

          brow�拭�I mistrust thy brothers� �Thou art but a false

          jade��



     ��Exit LEONARD。



PHOEBE    Now�察�Wilfred�察�be just。 Truly I did deceive thee

          before but it was to save a precious life and to

          save it�察�not for me�察�but for another。 They are to be

          wed this very day。 Is not this enough for thee�拭�Come

          I am thy Phoebe thy very own and we will be wed in

          a year or two or three�察�at the most。 Is not that

          enough for thee��

MERYLL    I'm nigh mad with joy� 。�Seeing WILFRED�А�Why�察�what's

          all this��



PHOEBE    Oh�察�father�察�he discovered our secret thorough my

          folly�察�and the price of his silence is



WILFRED   Phoebe's heart。



PHOEBE    Oh�察�dear�察�no Phoebe's hand。



WILFRED   It's the same thing��



PHOEBE    Is it��



     ��Exeunt WILFRED and PHOEBE。



MERYLL    ��looking after them�А �Tis pity�察�but the Colonel had to

          be saved at any cost�察�and as thy folly revealed our

          secret�察�thy folly must e'en suffer for it� �



          ��DAME CARRUTHERS comes down�А�Dame Carruthers��



DAME      So this is a plot to shield this arch´fiend�察�and I

          have detected it。 A word from me�察�and three heads

          besides his would roll from their shoulders��



MERYLL    Nay�察�Colonel Fairfax is reprieved。 

          ��Aside�А�Yet�察�if my complicity in his escape were

          known� �Plague on the old meddler� �There's nothing for
