Into my secresy, thereby to assist
Thy friend, my secretary, to elope
With an orphan and my ward. Haste, haste! I bid thee;
Lest thou be late for the feast. Bear them from me
My glad congratulations. (sinks on a chair.)
R. (running to her). Diana! Diana!
D. I need no aid from thee, sir. Nay, begone!
R. In kindness hear what I came here to say.
In justice hear my answer to the charges
Thou hast made. But first I claim my promise.
