Chapter 50

Enter FREDERICA.

_Fred._ Your father has been here this minute to enquire after Lawyer Wellenberg.

_Soph._ (quick.) Is he gone yet?

_Fred._ He seemed in doubt some time, whether to go or stay, but then he went without saying any thing.

_Clar._ Ah, the legacy,--his conscience--Dr. Kannenfeld,--it begins to operate.

_Gern._ Yes, yes.

_Soph._ Oh, I wish that was settled!

_Clar._ Do not be uneasy; old Wellenberg has him entirely in his power, and he knows what he is about.
