REDFEATHER. These frozen fools.... [_The Lady Olive comes out of the chapel. He sees her._] Oh, they were right enough. Where shall I hide my carrion from the sun? [_Buries his face. His hat drops to the ground._] OLIVE [_looking up._] Captain, are you from church? I saw you not. REDFEATHER. No, I am here. [_Lays his hand on a gargoyle._] I, too, am a grotesque, And dance with all the devils on the roof. OLIVE [_with a strange smile._] For Satan, also, I have often prayed. REDFEATHER [_roughly_]. |
