WHY JESUS WEPT
43
Plough with his heifer, learn his riddle.
Enter Carruthers, riding madly, crying “ Sir Percy ! Sir Percy ! ”
You, sir, what makes your honour here !
Sir Percy ? Who then dares to face him ?
CARRUTHERS.
Let go my bridle, girl, I save a life.
MOLLY.
You hunt Sir Percy Percivale !
CARRUTHERS.
To save him.
MOLLY.
God save all honest men from knaves like you !
Stay, though, you are his friend ?
CARRUTHERS.
His guardian.
MOLLY.
And I his promised wife.
CARRUTHERS.
Mad girl, be off !
MOLLY.
Ay, strike me, coward !
