I will not now dispute that vain reply, But force you to security. SCENE VII. The Palace. Enter Philander, Alcander, Galatea, Aminta, and Falatius. Fal. Ah, fly, Sir, fly from what I have to tell you. Alcan. What's the news? Fal. Ah, Sir, the dismal'st heavy news that e'er was told or heard. Gal. No matter, out with it. Fal. Erminia, Madam Phi. Erminia, what of her? Fal. Is dead, Sir. Alcan.
"I always am on yours, and always hope to be," he said, smiling, "though I am afraid I can't write your note to the Hammonds for you." "But you won't go away," she said. "I know your time will be taken up, and you must not let me or the boys be troublesome; but to have you here makes me so much less lost and lonely. And I shall have such a friend in your Erminia. Is that her name?"
The gay, volatile, willful, warm-hearted Erminia was less earnest in all things. Her childhood had been passed amid the distractions of wealth; and passionately bent upon the attainment of some object at one moment, the next found her angry at being reminded of the vanished anxiety she had shown but a moment before.
When I'm cheated, Frank, I give you leave to make me have an agent, but not till then. There's my little Erminia singing away, and nobody to hear her." Christmas-Day was strange and sad. Mrs. Buxton had always contrived to be in the drawing-room, ready to receive them all after dinner. Mr.
"No! the difficulty would be to find any one he did think fit for his paragon of a son." "He thought you were, dearest Erminia." "So Frank has told you that, has he? I suppose we shall have no more family secrets now," said Erminia, laughing.
Ours scorns the petty Spoils, and do prefer The Glory not the Interest of the War: But yet our Forces shall obliging prove, Imposing nought but Constancy in Love: That's all our Aim, and when we have, it too, We'll sacrifice it all to pleasure you. King, Mr. Westwood. Philander, his Son, betrothed to Erminia, Mr. Smith. Alcippus, Favourite, in love with Erminia, Mr. Betterton.
Since all believe her dead, but who are present, And that they may remain in that blest error, I will consult with you; but you, my dearest, Shall as the Spirit of Erminia act, And reap the glory of so good a part: It will advance the new design I have; And, Sister, to your care I must commit the Treasure of my Life. Gal. It was not kind, she came not first to me. Er.
That's bravely sworn, and now I love thee more Than e'er I was oblig'd to do before, But yet, Erminia, guard thee from his Eyes, Where so much love, and so much Beauty lies; Those charms may conquer thee, which made me bow, And make thee love as well as break this Vow. Er. Gal.
Alcip. Thou hast amaz'd me, prithee speak more clearly. Pis. My Lord, the Princess has a passion for you, Have I not reason now to be your Enemy? Alcip. Not till I make returns: But now I'm past redemption miserable. 'Twas she Erminia told me dy'd for me; And I believ'd it but a slight of hers, To put me from my Courtship. Pis.
"Edward will be settled then, I hope. You were longer in France, Minnie. Frank was longer away that time he wintered in Italy with Mr. Monro." Erminia went slowly to the door. Then she turned, right facing Maggie. "Maggie! tell the truth. Has my uncle been urging you to go? Because if he has, don't trust him; it is only to break off your engagement." "No, he has not, indeed.
