WHY JESUS WEPT
39
SIR PERCY.
What of this chaplain ?
ANGELA.
What of your guardian ?
SIR PERCY.
Curses of hell !
ANGELA.
Hush ! hush ! sweet words must come from such sweet lips.
SIR PERCY.
What shall I do ?
ANGELA.
You leave your fate already in my hands ?
Nay, but once married, you’ll be master then !
SIR PERCY.
Shame, sweetheart !
ANGELA.
You have the strength of mind to defy convention : we
dine together : we — O love, how dare you look such looks
as these ? — At moonset ride you back, and none the wiser.
This always : for did we marry, the law would have its word
to say.
