Who goes with us?
ALL. I! I! And I! SARAH. I'll bide with my gran'am. [Exeunt all the others, save Resolute, Sarah, and Goody Gleason. There is a pause of a moment or so. Sarah, seated on the ground by Goody Gleason, looks curiously at Resolute. Resolute stares straight in front of her. SARAH (rising, and bringing Resolute her spinning-stool). Best to be seated, Mistress. You'll be a long time standing. What! Not even a word of thanks from a model of worshipful manners? It must be a sad thing not to be able to use one's tongue, Mistress Resolute. Indeed, I pity you! RESOLUTE. Such words as I could speak would fall full strangely on Merrymount ears. SARAH. I doubt it not. We are not given to canting here at Merrymount. RESOLUTE. I might give you such answer as those words deserve, did I not know that they are the words of one who lives in sin and ignorance. |
