Bel. Marry hang you, is it you that have given us this hot alarm?
Wild. There's more in it than you imagine; the whole house is up: For seeing you two, and not knowing you, after I had entered the garden-door, I made too much haste to get out again, and have left the key broken in it. With the noise, one of the servants came running in, whom I forced back; and, doubtless, he is gone for company, for you may see lights running through every chamber.
Theo. Jac. What will become of us?
Bel. We must have recourse to our former resolution. Let the ladies retire into the garden-house. And, now I think on it, you gentlemen shall go in with them, and leave me and Maskall to bear the brunt of it.
Mask. Me, sir! I beseech you let me go in with the ladies too; dear Beatrix, speak a good word for me! I protest 'tis more out of love to thy company than for any fear I have.
Bel. You dog, I have need of your wit and counsel. We have no time to deliberate. Will you stay, sir?
[To Maskall.
Mask. No, sir, 'tis not for my safety.
Bel. Will you in, sir?
[To Melchor.
Mel. No, sir, 'tis not for my honour, to be assisting to you: I'll to Don Alonzo, and help to revenge the injury you are doing him.
Bel. Then we are lost, I can do nothing.
