SCENE X.

CYNTHIA, MASKWELL.

MASK. Madam, you will be ready?

CYNT. I will be punctual to the minute. [_Going_.]

MASK. Stay, I have a doubt. Upon second thoughts, we had better meet in

the chaplain's chamber here, the corner chamber at this end of the

gallery, there is a back way into it, so that you need not come through

this door, and a pair of private stairs leading down to the stables. It

will be more convenient.

CYNT. I am guided by you; but Mellefont will mistake.

MASK. No, no, I'll after him immediately, and tell him.

CYNT. I will not fail.
