Elsie. I love the bravest best. But, sir, I may not listen — I am not free — I — I am a wife! Fair. Thou a wife? Whose? His name? His hours are numbered — nay, his grave is dug — and his epitaph set up! Come, his name? Elsie. Oh, sir! keep my secret — ^it is the only barrier that Fate could set up between us. My husband is none other than Colonel Fairfax! Fair. The greatest villain unhung! The most ill-favoured, ill-mannered, ill-natured, ill-omened, ill-tempered dog in Christendom! Elsie. It i...s very like. He is naught to me — for I never saw him. I was blindfolded, and he was to have died within the hour; aitd he did not die — and I am wedded to him, and my heart is broken! Fair. He was to have died, and he did not die? The scoundrel! The perjured, traitrous villian! Thou shouldst have insisted on his dying first, to make sure. 'Tis the only way with these Fairfaxes. Elsie. I now wish I had! Fair, (aside). Bloodthirsty little maiden! (Aloud.) A fig for this Fairfax! Be mine — he will never know — he dares not show him- self; and if he dare, what art thou to him?
