LOVERS’ VOWS
69
Amelia.
No, indeed, papa, I begin to think very like a woman. Aſk him if I don’t.
Baron.
Aſk him! You feel gratitude for the inſtructions you have received from him, and you fancy it love.
Amelia.
Are there two gratitudes?
Baron.
What do you mean?
Amelia.
Becauſe I feel gratitude to you; but that is very unlike the gratitude I feel towards him.
Baron.
Indeed!
Amelia.
Yes; and then he feels another gratitude towards me. What’s that?
Baron.
Has he told you ſo?
Amelia.
Yes.
Baron.
That was not right of him.
Amelia.
Oh! if you did but know how I ſurprized him!
Baron.
Surprized him?
Amelia.
He came to me by your command, to examine my heart reſpecting Count Caſſel. I told him that I would never marry the Count.
Baron.
