[_The father and brother take each a hand of HONOR--support and soothe
her._

_Catty._ I'd pity you, Honor, myself, only I know you a McBride--and know
you're desaving me, and all present.

_Mr. Carv._ Call that other witness I allude to, clerk, into our presence
without delay.

_Clerk._ I shall, sir. [_Exit clerk._

_Catty._ We'll see--we'll see all soon--and the truth will come out, and
shame the _dibbil_ and the McBrides!

_Randal._ (_looking out_) The man I bet, as I'm a sinner!

_Catty._ What?--Which?--Where?--True for ye!--I was wondering I did not see
the man you bet appear again ye: and this is he, with the head bound up in
the garter, coming--miserable cratur he looks--who would he be?

_Randal._ You'll see all soon, mother.

_Enter PAT COXE, his head bound up._

_Mr. Carv._ Come on--walk on boldly, friend.

_Catty._ Pat Coxe! saints above!

_Mr. Carv._ Take courage, you are under my protection here--no one will
dare to touch you.
