SCENE III.

Enter SOPHIA.

_Soph._ Father, I beg--

_Reiss._ Yes, you will soon beg.--Begone, be gone!

_Soph._ Your situation is dreadful, as dreadful as mine. Be kind and

just. Lend your helping hand.

_Reiss._ Be gone to the Carpenter. Out of my sight, be gone, I say!

_Soph._ I am come,--I cannot leave you till your mind is at ease.

_Reiss._ I shall be at ease as soon as you depart, the spy of my

actions. Be gone, I tell you!

_Soph._ Father!

_Reiss._ Begone, I tell you; begone, or I will have thee driven out of

my house! Out of my sight, snake, serpent, traitor, spy, begone!

_Soph._ I have ever obeyed you, and I will even obey this cruel

command. [Exit.
