Rh

O, dear! what can I do? what can I say? how shall I decide?

Shall I decide for you, Madam?

Do, do! good Brightly, and don't tease me any more.

And do you promise to abide by my judgment?

I do promise: and you will be merciful.

Well, then, be it known to all present, that inasmuch as you have nefariously injured the worthy baronet aforesaid, and it is your own indecision that prevents you from making him just reparation for the same, I adjudge that you, from this very time (looking at his watch), shall remain under his command for five minutes and a half, bound afterwards faithfully to fulfil what in this given time he shall decree.

Let it be so; five minutes will soon be over, and he will be merciful.
