Waiter [answering from behind the door.] Yes, sir.

Cas. Well, landlady, what company are we to have?

Land. Only two gentlewomen, sir. They are just stepp'd into the next room—they will be back again in a minute.

Cas. Where do they come from?

[All this while the Waiter re-enters with the bason and water, Casimere pulls off his boots, takes a napkin from the table, and washes his face and hands.

Land. There is one of them, I think, comes from Nuremburgh.

Cas. [aside.] From Nuremburgh; [with eagerness] her name?

Land. Matilda.

Cas. [aside.] How does this idiot woman torment me! What else?

Land. I can't recollect.
