Ribiere, I shall take Ivanoff's statement in writing. Bring him with you.

[VASILI turns on his heel, curtly, and passes rapidly out through the door on the right.]

[RIBIERE touches IVANOFF on shoulder, indicating that he must follow VASILI.]

[IVANOFF starts with RIBIERE; MADAME DE CHAMPIGNY shrinks back with a low exclamation of fear.]

IVANOFF

[hoarsely to her]

I would not touch you—not even to strangle you!

[With outstretched hand, pointing to HAWCASTLE.][pg 150]

But God will let me pay my debt to the Earl of Hawcastle!

[Goes rapidly out with RIBIERE.]
