From The Lawyers, A Drama in Five Acts by August Wilhelm Iffland

female · romantic · 54 sec

My visit will be but short. I am come to form an acquaintance with the sister of a gentleman who is not indifferent to me, as you may know perhaps. (Fred: We have been told, that he is to have the honour--) And then I wish to put a question to you, in whose praise I have heard so much, and for whom I entertain great esteem. I expect you will answer it candidly. (Fred: You do me an honour.) Nothing of that. We are going to be nearer,--nay, very nearly connected with one another. My happiness is concerned in that question; and so I had rather hear you say, that the confidence I repose in you gives you pleasure, if it really does so.
