Three Judgements At A Blow | ||
Scene III.
A Corridor in Urrea's House, with three doors in front.—Enter from a side door Violante and Elvira.Viol.
Ask me no more, Elvira; I cannot answer when
my thoughts are all locked up where Lope lies.
Elv.
And know you where that is? Nearer than you
think; there, in my lord your father's room.
Viol.
There! Oh, could I but save him!
Elv.
You can at least comfort him.
Viol.
Something must be done. Either I will save his
life, Elvira, or die with him. Have you the key?
Elv.
I have one; my lord has the master-key.
Viol.
Yours will do, give it me. I am desperate, Elvira,
and in his danger drown my maiden shame; see him I will
at least. Do you rest here and give me a warning if a footstep
come.
(She enters centre door.)
