Scene XII.

MELLEFONT, MASKWELL, from different doors.

MEL. Maskwell! I have been looking for you—’tis within a quarter of eight.

MASK. My lady is just gone into my lord’s closet, you had best steal into her chamber before she comes, and lie concealed there, otherwise she may lock the door when we are together, and you not easily get in to surprise us.

MEL. He? You say true.

MASK. You had best make haste, for after she has made some apology to the company for her own and my lord’s absence all this while, she’ll retire to her chamber instantly.

MEL. I go this moment. Now, fortune, I defy thee.
