pardon, and Mr. Counsellor O'Blaney's.
_Mr. Carv._ And did not you give your consent?--I must think him a very ill-used person. _Old McB._ I gave my consint only in case he could win hers, plase your honour, and he could _not_--and I could not break my own daughter's heart, and I beg your honour's pardon. _Mr. Carv._ I don't know how that may be, sir, but I gave my approbation to the match; and I really am not accustomed to have my advice or opinion neglected or controverted. Yet, on the other hand-- _Enter a Footman with a note, which he gives to Mr. CARVER._ _Old McB._ (_aside to PHIL_) Say something for me, Phil, can't ye?--I hav'n't a word. _Mr. Carv._ (_rising with a quicker motion than usual_) Bless me! bless me!--here is a revolution! and a counter revolution!--Here's news will make you all in as great astonishment as I own I am. _Old McB._ What is it? _Randal._ I'm made for life--I don't care what comes. _Honor._ Nor I: so it is not to touch you, I'm happy. _Catty._ Oh! your honour, spake quick, _this time_--I beg pardon! |
