ndifferent, Sir, he is not very courtly, something rough and hasty. _Car._ I fear she has found his ill Quality of Valour too; and since 'tis certain 'tis so, why should it be said that I ruin'd a Child to satisfy my Appetite of Riches? [Aside. Come, Daughter, can you love him, or can you not? For I'll make but short Work on't; you are my Daughter, and have a Fortune great enough to inrich any Man; and I'm resolv'd to put no Force upon your Inclinations. _Euph._ How's this! nay, then 'tis time I left dissembling. [Aside.] Sir, this Bounty in you has strangely overcome me, and makes me asham'd to have withstood your Will so long. _Car._ Do not dissemble with me, I say do not; for I am resolv'd you shall be happy. _Euph._ Sir, my Obedience shall-- _Car._ No more of your Obedience; I say again, do not dissemble, for I'm not pleas'd with your Obedience. _Euph._ This Alteration is very strange and sudden; pray Heaven he have not found the Cheat.
