Master Clarenbach's house.
MASTER CLARENBACH, SOPHIA.
_Clar._ Step in here, child! here you are, if not rich, at least safe.
You have now done your duty as a daughter. Now recommend the perverse
man to heaven, and let things take their course.
_Soph._ Can I be easy with that? It is lamentable, that I have no other
means left.
_Clar._ My son has acted as a man of honour ought. He would not leave
me till I had given him my word, neither to act nor to speak against
your father.
_Soph._ You have given it.
_Clar._ And will keep it.
_Soph._ I will acknowledge it with filial affection, with the same care
and attention as if I were your own daughter.
_Clar._ Jack has obtained you by noble means, dear daughter; that is a
good and laudable commencement of the marriage-state.
