Queen. Wait till Vane finds the truth
Of the report: then....
Lady Carlisle. —It will matter little
What the King does. Strafford that lends his arm
And breaks his heart for you!
Sir H. Vane enters.
Vane. The Commons, madam,
Are sitting with closed doors. A huge debate,
No lack of noise; but nothing, I should guess,
Concerning Strafford: Pym has certainly
Not spoken yet.
Queen [to Lady Carlisle]. You hear?
Lady Carlisle. I do not hear
That the King's sent for!
Vane. Savile will be able
To tell you more.
Holland enters.
Queen. The last news, Holland?
Holland. Pym
Is raging like a fire. The whole House means
[145]To follow him together to Whitehall
And force the King to give up Strafford.
