RAVENSBANE Devil! Thou wouldst not torment Rachel?
RAVENSBANE Speak! What must I do?
DICKON Not speak. Be silent, my lord, and acquiesce to all I say.
RAVENSBANE I will be silent.
DICKON And acquiesce?
RAVENSBANE I will be silent.
[Enter Minister Dodge, accompanied by Sir Charles Reddington, Captain Bugby, the Rev. Masters Rand and Todd, and followed by Justice Merton, Richard, Mistress Merton, and Rachel. Richard and Rachel stand somewhat apart, Rachel drawing close to Richard and hiding her face. All wear their outer wraps, and two or three hold lanterns, which, save the moon, throw the only light upon the scene. All enter solemn and silent.]
MINISTER DODGE Lord, be Thou present with us, in this unholy spot.
SEVERAL MEN’S VOICES Amen.
