The Plays of W. E. Henley and R. L. Stevenson
Chapter 104
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_.)
