He must hide from this world, for I--I shall not fall alone. If I fall, the ground around shall tremble! Do you take me? (P. Coun: Horrid and abominable!) Perhaps you imagine, that I have transformed the carpenter's son into a privy counsellor, merely for the sake of having him for a son-in-law? or because you are master of a tolerable good stile? No, you shall serve me, because you are both good enough and bad enough for the purpose.
