We also find a brother who will receive
the fortune, and relieve you of your lady love. Coincidences like
these are capable of overwhelming the cleverest person!
Captain
We've got to put our heads together about this. I have a good feeling
about it.
Spruce
We could really use that sixty thousand pounds.
Captain
To have them, we will have to use all our skill. They belong to me as
much as to my brother. We must prevent my brother from meeting old
Torrington. Go--run--find out--don't lose a minute.
Spruce
You know my zeal and eagerness. If he's in London, I have faithful
friends who will know of it in less than an hour.
Captain
I am going to Urania. Unfortunately, she knows I am back. I must still
pretend to burn with love for her. She has no idea I'm aflame for
Flavella. You know what Urania is like--the old girl loves to break
men's hearts. The airs that old woman puts on are really insufferable.
In fact, she's crazy and loves to be flattered.
Spruce
You're just the man for that, if I may say so, sir.
Captain
What a ray of hope breaks through for my love. While I'm still
uncertain what to do about my brother, I'd best manage her. Go back to
the customs house, to the stage coach.
Spruce
If I'm not mistaken, here comes Urania and Jenny now.
