Mellefont will be here in a moment.
SARA.
That is well, Norton! But where did you find him?
NORTON.
A stranger had enticed him beyond the town gate, where he said a gentleman waited for him, to speak with him about matters of the greatest importance. After taking him from place to place for a long time, the swindler slunk away from him. It will be bad for him if he lets himself be caught; Mellefont is furious.
SARA.
Did you tell him what has happened?
NORTON.
All.
