It is yours. You gave it to me for that purpose. They will find the sheath at your house!
THE LORD CHANCELLOR.
Earl of Clanbrassil, what reply do you make? Do you recognize this man?
FABIANI.
No!
GILBERT.
In truth, he only saw me by night. Let me whisper two words to him, madame, they will help his memory. [He approaches Fabiani.] My lord, you appear to recognize no one to-day—neither the man you have wronged, nor the woman you have seduced. Ah, the Queen avenges herself; but the man of the people, he avenges himself also. You defied me to do it, I think. Behold yourself caught between a double vengeance, my lord! What do you say to that? I am Gilbert the engraver!
FABIANI.
Yes, I recognize you. My lords, I recognize this man. Since it is with him I have to deal, I have nothing more to say.
THE QUEEN.
