No, and twice you have waited for me. If I could be sure you loved me—sure—[A knock is heard at the door] Who’s that?

Herbert:

I don’t know; I gave orders——[The knocking is repeated.]

Miss Fitton:

I must not be found here; where? where——

Herbert:

[Pointing to the door, R., and whispering.] That door will take you out. Come to-morrow at the same time. You will? [Smiles as Miss Fitton says “Yes” and goes; he returns towards door, C.; the knocking is repeated.] Come in there; come in. [Shakespeare enters.] Oh, it’s you, is it?

Scene VI.

Shakespeare:

Unbidden; but not, I hope, unwelcome.
