_Counsellor._ You villain! To assault me, to accuse your brother, to seek his life!--[To the constables] Off with him! [they seize Philip.] _Philip._ No! No! Lewis! [throws a pocket-book to him] Take this book [Couns. snatches the book]. Lewis, your uncle--remember, remember. [Exit with constables.] _Lewis_ [attempting to follow him, withheld by the Chancellor and the Counsellor]. Let me go. _Chancellor._ For God's sake, do not approach him; he seeks your ruin, your life; he is dangerous. [They lead Lewis into the Chancellor's Room.] END OF THE FOURTH ACT. _ACT V._ SCENE I. Apartment at Mr. Drave's House. Mrs. DRAVE.--AUGUSTA. (Augusta entering with a letter in her hand, which she gives to her Mother.) _Augusta._ Here is a letter from Philip Brook's landlord. _Mrs. D._ [reads]--How! _Augusta._ What does it contain? _Mrs. D._ I'll read it you. "Madam---Counsellor Fleffel has come with a warrant to examine Mr. Brook's apartment. He has forced the locks of his bureau and drawers, and seized the papers. I think they must be of great importance, for he is in a violent passion, and talks of treasonable practices, of libels, of revenge."----Our worthy friend, too, the prey of powerful enemies! It is hard. _Augusta._ But what can he have to apprehend from them? _Mrs. D._ The abuse or suppression of his papers. _A Servant entering._ Mr. Lewis Brook, Ma'am, wishes to see you. _Mrs. D._ [angrily]. How? he dares---- _Serv._ I denied you twice, but he insists on seeing you. _Mrs. D._ Tell him I can have no concern with one who has acted as he has done. [Exit Servant. _Augusta._ His very name terrifies me so much.-- Enter LEWIS with the Servant. _Lewis._ I must speak to her [perceiving Mrs. D. he casts his eyes upon the ground. Augusta hastily leaves the room]. _Mrs. D._ Frederick, did you deliver my answer to the gentleman? _Lewis._ He did; but, Madam--pray leave us Frederick--[Exit Servant]. I beg, Madam---- _Mrs. D._ What do you desire? Have you any demands upon me in particular? [shrugs her shoulders]. I am unable to pay, for they have taken every thing from me. _Lewis._ You think me a villain: you are deceived; let me therefore explain---- _Mrs. D._ Explain, Sir? This empty room, our misery, my husband in prison these are explanations sufficient. _Lewis._ As my presence is so disagreeable to you, I will immediately retire.--But let me first promise you, that the day I come of age, I will entirely restore what you have lost. [Lays a paper on the table]. I leave with you this paper, legally drawn up to that effect. Thus I hope to make reparation for my want of thought, and for the uneasiness I have caused. [Going. _Mrs. D._ One moment, Mr. Brook! [She takes the paper and reads it]. You restore all, you say? _Lewis._ Yes.
