ALFRED。
Who�察�Matilda��
JOHN。
Yes� �she�察�Of course� �who but she could contrive so to keep One's eyes�察�and one's feet too�察�from falling asleep For even one half´hour of the long twenty´four��
ALFRED。
What's the matter��
JOHN。
Why�察�she isa matter�察�the more I consider about it�察�the more it demands An attention it does not deserve�察�and expands Beyond the dimensions which ev'n crinoline�察�When possess'd by a fair face�察�and saucy Eighteen�察�Is entitled to take in this very small star�察�Already too crowded�察�as I think�察�by far。 You read Malthus and Sadler��
ALFRED。
Of course。
JOHN。
To what use�察�When you countenance�察�calmly�察�such monstrous abuse Of one mere human creature's legitimate space In this world�拭 �Mars�察�Apollo�察�Virorum� �the case Wholly passes my patience。
ALFRED。
My own is worse tried。
JOHN。
Yours�察�Alfred��
ALFRED。
Read this�察�if you doubt�察�and decide��
JOHN ��reading the letter��。
;I hear from Bigorre you are there。 I am told You are going to marry Miss Darcy。 Of old; What is this��
ALFRED。
Read it on to the end�察�and you'll know。
JOHN ��continues reading��。
;When we parted�察�your last words recorded a vow What you will; 。 。 。 Hang it� �this smells all over�察�I swear�察�Of adventurers and violets。 Was it your hair You promised a lock of��
ALFRED。
Read on。 You'll discern。
JOHN ��continues��。
;Those letters I ask you�察�my lord�察�to return。; 。 。 。 Humph� � 。 。 Letters� � 。 。 the matter is worse than I guess'd�察�I have my misgivings
ALFRED。
Well�察�read out the rest�察�And advise。
JOHN。
Eh�拭 � 。 。 Where was I�拭。�continues。�� ;Miss Darcy�察�perchance�察�Will forego one brief page from the summer romance Of her courtship。; 。 。 。 Egad� �a romance�察�for my part�察�I'd forego every page of�察�and not break my heart��
ALFRED。
Continue。
JOHN ��reading��。
;And spare you one day from your place At her feet。; 。 。 。 Pray forgive me the passing grimace。 I wish you had MY place� 。�reads�� ;I trust you will feel I desire nothing much。 Your friend�察─ � 。 。 Bless me� �Lucile�拭─�The Countess de Nevers��
ALFRED。
Yes。
JOHN。
What will you do��
ALFRED。
You ask me just what I would rather ask you。
JOHN。
You can't go。
ALFRED
I must。
JOHN。
And Matilda��
ALFRED。
Oh�察�that You must manage��
JOHN。
Must I�拭 �I decline it�察�though�察�flat。 In an hour the horses will be at the door�察�And Matilda is now in her habit。 Before I have finished my breakfast�察�of course I receive A message for ;dear Cousin John� ─ � 。 。 I must leave At the jeweller's the bracelet which YOU broke last night�察�I must call for the music。 ;Dear Alfred is right�此�The black shawl looks best�此�WILL I change it�拭 �Of course I can just stop�察�in passing�察�to order the horse。 Then Beau has the mumps�察�or St。 Hubert knows what�察�WILL I see the dog´doctor�拭─ �Hang Beau� �I will NOT。
ALFRED。
Tush�察�tush� �this is serious。
JOHN。
It is。
ALFRED。
Very well�察�You must think
JOHN。
What excuse will you make�察�tho'��
ALFRED。
Oh�察�tell Mrs。 Darcy that 。 。 。 lend me your wits�察�Jack� � 。 。 The deuce� �Can you not stretch your genius to fit a friend's use�拭�Excuses are clothes which�察�when ask'd unawares�察�Good Breeding to Naked Necessity spares�察�You must have a whole wardrobe�察�no doubt。
JOHN。
My dear fellow�察�Matilda is jealous�察�you know�察�as Othello。
ALFRED。
You joke。
JOHN。
I am serious。 Why go to Luchon��
ALFRED。
Don't ask me。 I have not a choice�察�my dear John。 Besides�察�shall I own a strange sort of desire�察�Before I extinguish forever the fire Of youth and romance�察�in whose shadowy light Hope whisper'd her first fairy tales�察�to excite The last spark�察�till it rise�察�and fade far in that dawn Of my days where the twilights of life were first drawn By the rosy�察�reluctant auroras of Love�察�In short�察�from the dead Past the gravestone to move�察�Of the years long departed forever to take One last look�察�one final farewell�察�to awake The Heroic of youth from the Hades of joy�察�And once more be�察�though but for an hour�察�Jacka boy��
JOHN。
You had better go hang yourself。
ALFRED。
No� �were it but To make sure that the Past from the Future is shut�察�It were worth the step back。 Do you think we should live With the living so lightly�察�and learn to survive That wild moment in which to the grave and its gloom We consign'd our heart's best�察�if the doors of the tomb Were not lock'd with a key which Fate keeps for our sake�拭�If the dead could return or the corpses awake��
JOHN。
Nonsense��
ALFRED。
Not wholly。 The man who gets up A fill'd guest from the banquet�察�and drains off his cup�察�Sees the last lamp extinguish'd with cheerfulness�察�goes Well contented to bed�察�and enjoys its repose。 But he who hath supp'd at the tables of kings�察�And yet starved in the sight of luxurious things�察�Who hath watch'd the wine flow�察�by himself but half tasted�察�Heard the music�察�and yet miss'd the tune�察�who hath wasted One part of life's grand possibilities��friend�察�That man will bear with him�察�be sure�察�to the end�察�A blighted experience�察�a rancor within�此�You may call it a virtue�察�I call it a sin。
JOHN。
I see you remember the cynical story Of that wicked old piece Experiencea hoary Lothario�察�whom dying�察�the priest by his bed ��Knowing well the unprincipled life he had led�察�And observing�察�with no small amount of surprise�察�Resignation and calm in the old sinner's eyes�� Ask'd if he had nothing that weigh'd on his mind�此 �Well�察 � 。 。 no�察─ � 。 。 says Lothario�察 �I think not。 I find�察�On reviewing my life�察�which in most things was pleasant�察�I never neglected�察�when once it was present�察�An occasion of pleasing myself。 On the whole�察�I have naught to regret�察─ � 。 。 and so�察�smiling�察�his soul Took its flight from this world。
ALFRED。
Well�察�Regret or Remorse�察�Which is best��
JOHN。
Why�察�Regret。
ALFRED。
No�察�Remorse�察�Jack�察�of course�此�For the one is related�察�be sure�察�to the other。 Regret is a spiteful old maid�此�but her brother�察�Remorse�察�though a widower certainly�察�yet HAS been wed to young Pleasure。 Dear Jack�察�hang Regret��
JOHN。
Bref� �you mean�察�then�察�to go��
ALFRED。
Bref� �I do。
JOHN。
One word 。 。 。 stay� �Are you really in love with Matilda��
ALFRED。
Love�察�eh�拭�What a question� �Of course。
JOHN。
