Text

How can I get rid of that man? shall a boor, a drunkard, a ruffian, hold me in his grasp ready to crush me when he pleases? How do I know, even if I bribe him into silence, that in some drunken moment he may not tell all he knows? What shall I do? Some on may see him leaving here! I wonder if he has passed the gates? [looks off] Ah! here comes Robert Audley, he must not see me with a cloud upon my brow! let me again resume the mask, which not only imposes on him, but on all the world.
