Scene III.

—A Precinct of the Tower.
Ethilda and Emma.
Ethilda.
They will not; for they say that I am watched,
And to find entrance to the King for me
Should bring a double danger; but for you
They would attempt it. At the hour of none
The Abbot will be with him, after which
You will have least to fear.

Emma.
Unless a ghost
Stand in the doorway, terror is there none
Can turn me backward.

Ethilda.
Is your father safe?

Emma.
Fled with Earl Sidroc. We shall meet ere-night.
