half nonsense: like a clock out of order, set him a-going, and he

Go out and watch, Judith. [_Exit_ JUDITH. _Mrs Brain._ Yet, I could say, in my defence, that my friends married me to him against my will. _Wood._ Then let us put your friends, too, into the quarrel: it shall go hard, but I'll give you a revenge for them. _Enter_ JUDITH _again, hastily._ How now? what's the matter? _Mrs Brain._ Can'st thou not speak? hast thou seen a ghost?--As I live, she signs horns! that must be for my husband: he's returned. [JUDITH _looks ghastly, and signs horns._ _Jud._ I would have told you so, if I could have spoken for fear. _Mrs Brain._ Hark, a knocking! What shall we do? [_Knocking._ There's no dallying in this case: here you must not be found, that's certain; but Judith hath a chamber within mine; haste quickly thither; I'll secure the rest. _Jud._ Follow me, sir. [_Exeunt_ WOODALL, JUDITH. |
