I tell you no.--But I must leave you now, Mrs. Flora, for yonder is Don Antonio, and I believe he is coming this way. (FLORA: I thought no man was admitted into the castle but you, Mr. Jerome?) Yes; Don Antonio lives here--but then he is my Lady's uncle; and you know there can be no fear of her falling in love with him, as he is a relation. (FLORA: But you are no relation, Mr. Jerome.) Why, as you say, she might fall in love with me--Stranger things have happened--and to tell you the truth, she does not seem positive she shan't, for she bids me keep out of her sight as much as possible, for fear I should put her in mind of that handsome villain that brought her to this retirement.
