I said how gracefully his mantle lay

Beneath the rings of his light hair?

Mil. Brown hair.

Guen. Brown? why, it is brown: how could you know that?

Mil. How? did not you—Oh, Austin 't was declared

His hair was light, not brown—my head!—and look,

The moon-beam purpling the dark chamber! Sweet,

Good night!

Guen. Forgive me—sleep the soundlier for me! [Going, she turns suddenly.

Mildred!
