GAOLER.
I may not, madam.
To the contrary I have express commandment.
PAULINA.
Here’s ado, to lock up honesty and honour from
Th’ access of gentle visitors! Is’t lawful, pray you,
To see her women? any of them? Emilia?
GAOLER.
So please you, madam,
To put apart these your attendants, I
Shall bring Emilia forth.
PAULINA.
I pray now, call her.
Withdraw yourselves.
[Exeunt Gentleman and Attendants.]
GAOLER.
And, madam,
I must be present at your conference.
PAULINA.
Well, be’t so, prithee.
[Exit Gaoler.]
Here’s such ado to make no stain a stain
As passes colouring.
Re-enter Gaoler with Emilia.
