Not at present, my good Sir; excuse us.

Good morning to you.[Exit.

I have a mind for the lecture, though. (Checking himself and returning.) No, no; we will go to our visit: she may possibly be there; she is probably there; she is certainly there: the brightness of the sunshine, the playful fanning of the wind, the quick beating of my heart tells me so. Uncle, are you going? You are in a deep reverie, methinks.

His suspicions, her thoughtlessness,—the idea fastens itself upon me strangely.

Ha! speaking to yourself, Sir! What is it that fastens upon you?

A thought for your good too.

Pray let me have it then, for very few such thoughts have any immediate communication with my own brain.
