_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._)
