RACHEL Thank you.

DICKON [Aside, as he passes Ravensbane.] Remember, Jack! Puff, puff!

RACHEL [To Ravensbane, who stretches out his hand to her with a gesture of entreaty to stay.] Your lordship is to be my guest. [Courtesying.] Till we meet again!

DICKON [To Rachel.] May I sharpen your quill? [Exeunt.]

RAVENSBANE [Faintly, looking after her.] Till—we—meet—again!

JUSTICE MERTON [Low and vehement to Ravensbane.] Impostor!

RAVENSBANE [Still staring at the door.] She is gone.

JUSTICE MERTON You at least shall not play the lord and master to my face.

RAVENSBANE Quite—gone!

JUSTICE MERTON I know with whom I have to deal. If I be any judge of my own flesh and blood—permit me—you shall quail before me.
