Leave me: I will keep praying till he comes.
PRIORESS
You are trembling! You are not afraid?
ELINOR
[With eyes closed as in strenuous devotion.]
No; no;
Leave me, I am but praying!
[A chant swells up in the chapel. Exit Prioress. Elinor continues muttering as in prayer. Enter Robin Hood, steadying himself on his bow, weak and white. She rises and passes between him and the door to confront him.]
ELINOR
Ah, Robin, you have come to me at last
For healing. Pretty Marian cannot help you
With all her kisses.
ROBIN HOOD
