ACT I
Scene: A Room in an old half-ruined castle.
Mother: Look out the door, Celia, and see is
your uncle coming.
Celia: (Who is lying on the ground, a bunch of
ribbons in her hand, and playing with a pigeon, looks
towards door without getting up.) I see no sign of
him.
Mother: What time were you telling me it was
a while ago?
Celia: It is not five minutes hardly since I was
telling you it was ten o'clock by the sun.
Mother: So you did, if I could but have kept
it in mind. What at all ails him that he does not
come in to the breakfast?
Celia: He went out last night and the full moon
shining. It is likely he passed the whole night
abroad, drowsing or rummaging, whatever he does
be looking for in the rath.
Mother: I'm in dread he'll go crazy with digging
in it.
