[To Lady Carlisle.] Why, Lucy, what 's in agitation now,

That all this muttering and shrugging, see,

Begins at me? They do not speak!

Lady Car. 'Tis welcome!

For we are proud of you—happy and proud

To have you with us, Strafford! You were stanch

At Durham: you did well there! Had you not

Been stayed, you might have ... we said, even now,

Our hope 's in you!

Vane. [To Lady Carlisle.] The Queen would speak with you.
