Ireton:

Shall we go?

Bridget:

Yes.

(Bridget and Ireton go.)

(Cromwell lights a candle, gets paper and pen, and sits at the table writing. After a few moments Mrs. Cromwell comes in. She carries a large bunch of keys. Cromwell looks up, and continues writing. She unlocks a large wooden chest, and takes some parchment deeds from it. Then she comes to Cromwell at the table.)

Mrs. Cromwell:

Oliver.

Cromwell:

Yes, mother.
