Scene VII.—Night. A Chamber in the Castle. Lights, &c. Physician and Kinsman.
First Kinsman.
Undoubtedly. Most sad. But are you sure, sir?
Stone blind?

Physician.
Unusual . . . extraordinary,
So young . . .

Second Kinsman.
He always was a weakly child.
The mother died . . . you understand?

Physician.
The mother?
How? . . . do you mean . . . ?

Second Kinsman.
Precisely.

Orval
(entering).
Pardon me,
Gentlemen, for so long detaining you.
But 'tis not till past midnight that of late
The crisis comes. Then he begins to speak.
Follow me. This way, Doctor.

Third Relation.
After you, sir.

Physician.
I am all anxiety to contemplate
This deeply interesting phenomenon.

(Exeunt).
