SCENE VII
John, Miriam.
MIRIAM
[Shrinks against the wall near the door and looks shyly across at John, who broods with his back turned to her.]
JOHN
[Suddenly noticing her.] Thou, Miriam, art still here?
MIRIAM
Forgive me, master. I am a little afraid; for if I go homewards the guards at the gate will seize me.
JOHN
But thou camest to me in the wilderness at night?
