Abner. I'll go and look upon him.
(Goes.)
(Returning.) Already he sleeps.

(Is held by Michal entering.)
Woman, who are you, who?
Michal (quaking). Unclean! away!
Doeg. Unclean? a leper? in this place? Are there
No stones to stone you? Hence! And had I not
A brother such as thou——
Michal. Pity! Unclean!
(She quickly goes, then they. A space; then she returns, trembling and fearful.)
