Synopsis
Excerpt from Dramatic Works, Vol. 3 of 3
Lucy. I hope it is not to send me to a boarding-school, papa.
Goodwill. I hope my indulgence to you has been such, that you have reason to regard me as the best of fathers. I am sure I have never denied you any thing but for your own good: indeed I have consulted nothing else. It is that for which I have been toiling these many years; for which I have denied myself every comfort in life; and from Which I have, from renting a farm of five hundred a year, amassed the sum of ten thousand pounds.
