OCTAVIO. (after both have seated themselves.)
You have not
Return'd the advances which I made you yesterday—
Misunderstood them, as mere empty forms.
That wish proceeded from my heart—I was
In earnest with you—for 'tis now a time
In which the honest should unite most closely.

BUTLER.
'Tis only the like-minded can unite.

OCTAVIO.
True! and I name all honest men like-minded.
I never charge a man but with those acts
To which his character deliberately
Impels him; for alas! the violence
Of blind misunderstandings often thrusts
The very best of us from the right track.
You came thro' Frauenberg. Did the Count Galas
Say nothing to you? Tell me. He's my friend.

His words were lost on me.

It grieves me sorely
To hear it: for his counsel was most wise.
I had myself the like to offer.

BUTLER.
Spare
Yourself the trouble—me th' embarrassment,
To have deserv'd so ill your good opinion.
