ABBOT-- (_Turning, with his eyes closed._)
The other Bible, Guido.
(_The monk quickens his step and_ _enters the
dormitory._)
LOUIS-- And you know
Some of the brothers might tell Benedict,
And he would send it blazing down to Rome.
ABBOT--Lamp after lamp goes out for policy.
(_He opens the gate through which Ely passed._)
LOUIS--Better one lamp than total darkness, though.
ABBOT--Say nothing to the carriers of the affair.
LOUIS--Have you cautioned Oswald?
ABBOT--(_Astounded._) Cautioned Oswald?
LOUIS-- Yes.
ABBOT--You said he was unconscious.
LOUIS-- When I found him
He was unconscious. But from what he dropped
Yesterday in his cell, I am sure he knows
It was the dwarf that brought him up the rocks.
