"Yes, Jonathan, you and I must part, but we part good friends: you have been a n.o.ble lover: may you make the girl a good and happy husband!
Jennings has been robbing me and those about me for years: it is impossible to separate specially my rights from his extortions: but all, as I have said, shall be satisfied: meanwhile, his h.o.a.rds are mine. I appropriate one half of them for other claimants; the remaining half I give to Grace Floyd as dower. Don't be a fool, Jonathan, and blubber; look to your Grace there, she's fainting--you can set up landlord for yourself, do you hear?--for I make yours honestly, as much as Roger found in his now lucky Crock of Gold."
Poor Roger, quite unmanned, could only wave his hat, and--the curtain falls amid thunders of applause.
