SCENE I

ARETHUSA�察�KIT

ARETHUSA。  Come�察�dear Kit�察�come��

KIT。  Well�察�I'm here。

ARETHUSA。  O Kit�察�you are not angry with me。

KIT。  Have I reason to be pleased��

ARETHUSA。  Kit�察�I was wrong。  Forgive me。

KIT。  O yes。  I forgive you。  I suppose you meant it kindly�察�but 
there are some kindnesses a man would rather die than take a gift
of。  When a man is accused�察�Arethusa�察�it is not that he fears the
gallows ´ it's the shame that cuts him。  At such a time as that�察�
the way to help was to stand to your belief。  You should have 
nailed my colours to the mast�察�not spoke of striking them。  If I 
were to be hanged to´morrow�察�and your love there�察�and a free
pardon and a dukedom on the other side ´ which would I choose��

ARETHUSA。  Kit�察�you must judge me fairly。  It was not my life
that was at stake�察�it was yours。  Had it been mine ´ mine�察�Kit ´
what had you done�察�then��

KIT。  I am a downright fool�察�I saw it inside out。  Why�察�give you 
up�察�by George��

ARETHUSA。  Ah�察�you see�  �Now you understand。  It was all pure
love。  When he said that word ´ O�  � death and that disgrace�   �
。 。  But I know my father。  He fears nothing so much as the
goodness of his heart�察�and yet it conquers。  He would pray�察�he
said�此 �and to´night�察�and by the kindness of his voice�察�I knew he
was convinced already。  All that is wanted�察�is that you should
forgive me。

KIT。  Arethusa�察�if you looked at me like that I'd forgive you 
piracy on the high seas。  I was only sulky�察�I was boxed up there
in the black dark�察�and couldn't see my hand。  It made me pity
that blind man�察�by George��

ARETHUSA。  O�察�that blind man�  �The fiend�  �He came back�察�Kit�此�
did you hear him�拭�he thought we had killed you ´ you��

KIT。  Well�察�well�察�it serves me right for keeping company with
such a swab。

ARETHUSA。  One thing puzzles me�此 �how did you get in�拭 �I saw my 
father lock the door。

KIT。  Ah�察�how�拭 �That's just it。  I was a sheet in the wind�察�you 
see。  How did we�拭 �He did it somehow。 。 。 。 By George�察�he had a 
key�  �He can get in again。

ARETHUSA。  Again�拭�that man��

KIT。  Ay�察�can he�  �Again�  �When he likes��

ARETHUSA。  Kit�察�I am afraid。  O Kit�察�he will kill my father。

KIT。  Afraid。  I'm glad of that。  Now�察�you'll see I'm worth my
salt at something。  Ten to one he's back to Mrs。 Drake's。  I'll
after�察�and lay him aboard。

ARETHUSA。  O Kit�察�he is too strong for you。

KIT。  Arethusa�察�that's below the belt�  �Never you fear�察�I'll give
a good account of him。

ARETHUSA ��TAKING CUTLASS FROM THE WALL��。  You'll be none the
worse for this�察�dear。

KIT。  That's so ��MAKING CUTS��。  All the same�察�I'm half ashamed to
draw on a blind man�察�it's too much odds。  ��HE LEAPS SUDDENLY 
AGAINST THE TABLE。��  Ah��

ARETHUSA。  Kit�  �Are you ill��

KIT。  My head's like a humming top�察�it serves me right for 
drinking。

ARETHUSA。  O�察�and the blind man�  。�SHE RUNS�察�L。�察�TO THE CORNER 
CUPBOARD�察�BRINGS A BOTTLE AND GLASS�察�AND FILLS AND OFFERS GLASS。��

KIT。  To you�  �That's better。  ��BOTTLE AND GLASS REMAIN ON
GAUNT'S TABLE。��

ARETHUSA。  Suppose you miss him��

KIT。  Miss him�  �The road is straight�察�and I can hear the tap´
tapping of that stick a mile away。
