If
not, don't enter the same hemisphere with me; don't dare to breathe the
same air, or use the same light, with me; but get an atmosphere and a
sun of your own! I'll strip you of your commission; I'll lodge a
five-and-threepence in the hands of trustees, and you shall live on the
interest! I'll disown you, I'll disinherit you! I'll never call you Jack
again! [_Exit_.
CAPT. A. Mild, gentle, considerate father! I kiss your hand.
ACT III, SCENE I
CHARACTERS: Sir Anthony Absolute; Captain Absolute.
SCENE: The North Parade. Captain Absolute has discovered that the
lady whom his father so peremptorily commanded him to marry is none
other than Lydia Languish with whom he, under the name of Beverley,
was plotting an elopement.
_Enter_ CAPTAIN ABSOLUTE
CAPT. A. 'Tis just as Fag told me, indeed!--Whimsical enough, 'faith! My
father wants to force me to marry the very girl I am plotting to run
away with! He must not know of my connection with her yet awhile. He has
too summary a method of proceeding in these matters; however, I'll read
my recantation instantly.
