Pleasance; get quickly into it, and I will lock you up: there's
nothing in't but clothes of Limberham's, and a box of writings. _Wood._ I shall be smothered. _Trick._ Make haste, for heaven's sake; they'll quickly be gone, and then-- _Wood._ That _then_ will make a man venture any thing. [_He goes in, and she locks the chest._ _Enter_ LIMBERHAM _and_ ALDO. _Limb._ Dost thou not wonder to see me come again so quickly, Pug? _Trick._ No, I am prepared for any foolish freak of yours: I knew you would have a qualm, when you came to settlement. _Limb._ Your settlement depends most absolutely on that chest. _Trick._ Father Aldo, a word with you, for heaven's sake. _Aldo._ No, no, I'll not whisper. Do not stand in your own light, but produce the keys, daughter. _Limb._ Be not musty, my pretty St Peter, but produce the keys. I must have the writings out, that concern thy settlement. _Trick._ Now I see you are so reasonable, I'll show you I dare trust your honesty; the settlement shall be deferred till another day. |
