ADRIEL

Ope! open you!

DAVID

At last the word.

MERAB

Girl, Adah, draw the bar.

[David throws a cloak over his face. Adah obeys. Adriel enters, and Doeg, who pauses in quick alarm, as David goes between him and the gate.]

DOEG

What place is this? Why do you bar that gate?

Merab, ’tis you? Why do you gaze, rigid?
