A Rough Diamond: A Comic Drama in One Act

SIR W. I thought it was a face I knew. I'm very glad to see you-it's more than two years since we met! Where do you come from?-where are you going to?-and how d'ye do? BLEN. My regiment is quartered about a mile off-we arrived there but yesterday-I knew you had a country house in the neighbourhood, and I had come in search of you. SIR W. Excellent! now I have indeed a companion, for I shall expect you to pass all your leisure with me. I thought you were abroad, as I had not heard from you so long. BLEN. I have been stationed in Ireland.
