CONAL [at door].

I can see the horn-blower now, a young man wrapped in a cloak.

LEAGERIE.

Do not let him come in. Tell him to go elsewhere for shelter. This is no place to seek shelter in.

CONAL.

LEAGERIE.

Nobody of living men but us two must ever know that.

CONAL [outside door].

Go away, go away!
