THIRD MAIDSERVANT (within).
There are going to be great fêtes! Open quickly!…
THE MAIDSERVANTS.
Open! open!
PORTER.
Wait! wait! I do not know whether I shall be able to open it;… it is never opened…. Wait till it is light….
FIRST MAIDSERVANT.
It is light enough without; I see the sunlight through the chinks….
PORTER.
Here are the great keys…. Oh! oh! how the bolts and the locks grate!… Help me! help me!…
