Herodias, Salome.

SALOME

[Putting her head through the door.] Mother, am I to dance here?

HERODIAS

Come, softly. Art thou trembling, my dove? Art thou afraid of thy own will?

SALOME

Take my hand, mother. I am not trembling, because I know that thou art my will.

HERODIAS

Not I! thou must will.
