Part 6 (2/2)

NORTON.

But, sir----

MELLEFONT.

Not a word! Let me see (_looking at the letter_) whether she has given the address. Here it is! Come, show me the way! (_Exeunt_).

ACT II.

Scene I.--Marwood's _room in another inn_.

Marwood (_in negligee_), Hannah.

MARWOOD.

I hope Belfort has delivered the letter at the right address, Hannah?

HANNAH.

He has.

MARWOOD.

To him himself?

HANNAH.

To his servant.

MARWOOD.

I am all impatience to see what effect it will have. Do I not seem a little uneasy to you, Hannah? And I am so. The traitor! But gently! I must not on any account give way to anger. Forbearance, love, entreaty are the only weapons which I can use against him, if I rightly understand his weak side.

HANNAH.

But if he should harden himself against them?

MARWOOD.

If he should harden himself against them? Then I shall not be angry. I shall rave! I feel it, Hannah, and I would rather do so to begin with.

HANNAH.

Calm yourself! He may come at any moment.

MARWOOD.
