Gaunt. Silence! Young man, I have offered you liberty without bond or condition. You refuse. You shall be judged. Meanwhile (opening the door, R.), you will go in here. I keep your cutlass. The night brings counsel: to-morrow shall decide. (He locks Kit in, leaving the key in the door.)
SCENE V
Gaunt, Arethusa, afterwards Pew
Arethusa. Father, you believe in him; you do; I know you do.
Gaunt. Child, I am not given to be hasty. I will pray and sleep upon this matter. (A knocking at the door, C.) Who knocks so late? (He opens.)
Pew (entering). Cap’n, shall I fetch the constable?
Gaunt. No.
Pew. No? Have ye killed him?
Gaunt. My man, I’ll see you into the road. (He takes Pew by the arm, and goes out with him.)
