Quex.

Wait—! [He goes to the door, and examines the key-hole. Then he turns to the Duchess and beckons to her. She joins him. He says, in a whisper, pointing to the key-hole.] Do you notice—?

Duchess.

What?

Quex.

The key is in the lock horizontally.

Duchess.

She may have been peeping at us? [He nods. She is sick at the thought.] How inexcusably careless of me!

Quex.
