_Has._ Come, then, to the governor's house this very night--into that council room so often perverted to the use of the torture; and there, unknown to them as their king, you shall be witness to all the grateful heart can dictate, and enjoy all that benevolence can taste. _Sul._ I will meet you there. _Has._ In the evening? _Sul._ At ten precisely.--Guards, conduct the stranger from the palace. [_Exit Sultan._ _Has._ Thus far advanced, what changes may not be hoped for? [_Exit._ END OF THE THIRD ACT. ACT IV. SCENE I. _An Apartment at Sir_ Luke'_s_. _Enter_ Elvirus _and_ Aurelia. _Elvirus._ Oh my Aurelia! since the time I first saw you--since you left the pleasant spot, where I first beheld you; what distress, what anguish have we known? _Aur._ Your family? _Elv._ Yes--and that caused the silence which I hope you have lamented.--I could not wound you with the recital of our misfortunes --and now, only with the sad idea that I shall never see you more, I am come to take my leave. _Aur._ Is there a chance that we may never meet again? _Elv._ There is--and I hope it too--sincerely hope and request it--to see you again, wou'd be again to behold my father pining in misery. _Aur._ Explain--[_A loud rapping at the door._] that is, Sir Luke, and Lady Tremor--what shall I say, shou'd they come hither? they suspect I correspond with some person in the country--who shall I say you are? upon what business can I say you are come? _Elv._ To avoid all suspicion of my real situation, and to be sure to gain admittance, I put on this habit, and told the servant, when I inquired for you, I was just arrived from England--[_She starts._] nay, it was but necessary I should conceal who I was in this suspicious place, or I might plunge a whole family in the imputed guilt of mine. _Aur._ Good Heaven! _Elv._ I feared, besides, there was no other means; no likelihood to gain admission--and what, what wou'd I not have sacrificed, rather than left you for ever without a last farewell? think on these weighty causes, and pardon the deception. _Aur._ But if they should ask me-- _Elv._ Say, as I have done--my stay must be so short, it is impossible they shou'd detect me--for I must be back-- _Aur._ Where? _Elv._ No matter where--I must be back before the evening--and would almost wish never to see you more--I love you, Aurelia--O, how truly! and yet there is a love more dear, more sacred still. _Aur._ You torture me with suspense--Sir Luke is coming this way--what name shall I say, if he asks me? _Elv._ Glanmore--I announced that name to the servant. _Aur._ You tremble. _Elv._ The imposition hurts me--and I feel as if I dreaded a detection, though 'tis scarce possible--Sorrows have made a coward of me--even the servant, I thought, looked at me with suspicion--and I was both confounded and enraged.
