Part 48 (1/2)

Scene III.

Pirro, _and afterwards_ Angelo.

PIRRO.

All inquisitive visitors. How I have been questioned! Who comes here?

(_Enter_ Angelo, _in a short mantle, with which he conceals his face_.)

ANGELO.

Pirro! Pirro!

PIRRO.

An acquaintance, it seems. (Angelo _throws back the mantle_). Heavens!

Angelo. You!

ANGELO.

Yes, Angelo, as you perceive. I have been wandering long enough round the house, in order to speak to you. One word with you----

PIRRO.

And dare you again appear in public? Don't you know that, in consequence of your last murder, you are declared an outlaw, a price has been put upon your head?

ANGELO.

You don't intend to claim it, I presume?

PIRRO.

What do you want? I implore you not to involve me in misfortune.

ANGELO.

In this way, you mean? (_Showing a purse_). Take it; it belongs to you.

PIRRO.

To me?

ANGELO.

Have you forgotten? The German gentleman, your last master----

PIRRO.

Hus.h.!.+

ANGELO.
