Lady Car. Answer them, Hollis, for his sake! One word!

Cha. [To Hollis.] You stand, silent and cold, as though I were

Deceiving you—my friend, my playfellow

Of other times. What wonder after all?

Just so, I dreamed my People loved me.

Hol. Sir,

It is yourself that you deceive, not me.

You 'll quit me comforted, your mind made up

That, since you 've talked thus much and grieved thus much,

All you can do for Strafford has been done.
