will pay the proper attention. Though the series for the month of
February is complete, they have made room for four of the articles with
which he has favoured them.

SCENE I.--_Abel Grouse's cottage. Enter_ Abel Grouse _and_ Fanny.
_Ab. Gr._ Don't tell me of your sorrow and repentance girl. You've
broke my heart. Married hey? and privately too--and to a lord into the
bargain! So, when you can hide it no longer, you condescend to tell me.
Think you that the wealth and title of lord Austencourt can silence the
fears of a fond father's heart? Why should a lord marry a poor girl like
you in private, if his intentions were honourable? Who should restrain
him from publicly avowing his wife?
_Fanny._ My dearest father, have but a little patience, and I'll explain
all.
