You! Who are you? Ah, it is you, Jane Talbot. What are you doing here? Never mind, you are here! You have come to save Fabiani; thank you! I ought to hate you, Jane; I ought to be jealous of you. I have reason enough to be! But I'm not! I love you for loving him! In front of the scaffold there is no more jealousy--nothing but love! You are like me, you forgive him. I understand; men don't understand these things. Lady Jane, let us have it clearly understood. We are both of us miserable, are we not? We must save Fabiani! I have no one but you. I must let you do it! At least, I am sure, you will do it with all your heart. Take charge of it, gentlemen, both of you. Do everything that Lady Jane directs you to do, and upon your heads, you will be answerable for the execution of her orders. Embrace me, young woman! JANE. The Thames washes the base of the Tower on this side. I noticed a secret passage. A boat at that place, and the escape might be made by the Thames. It is the safest way. MASTER ENEAS. It will be impossible to get a boat there, before an hour. JANE. That is very long. MASTER ENEAS. It will soon pass! It will be dark, too. That will be better if her Majesty wishes to keep the escape secret. THE QUEEN. Perhaps you are right. In one hour then. I leave you, Lady Jane. I must go to the City Hall. Save Fabiani! JANE. Make yourself easy, madame! [_The Queen goes out; Jane follows her with her eyes._ JOSHUA (_front of stage_). Gilbert was right; she loves Fabiani! SCENE VI _The same, without The Queen_ JANE (_to Master Eneas_). You have heard the Queen's commands. A boat, there, at the base of the Tower, the keys of the secret corridors, a cap, and a cloak. MASTER ENEAS. Impossible to get all that before night. In one hour, my lady. JANE. Very well! Go! Leave me with this man. [_Master Eneas goes out. Jane follows him with her eyes._ JOSHUA (_aside, at front stage_). "This man!" It is very natural. One who has forgotten Gilbert will not remember Joshua. [_He goes to Fabiani's cell and is about to open it._ JANE. What are you doing there? JOSHUA. Forestalling your wishes, my lady. I am opening this door. JANE. What door is that? JOSHUA. The door of my Lord Fabiani's cell. JANE. And that one? JOSHUA. It is the door to another man's cell. JANE. Who is he--that other? JOSHUA. Another who is condemned to death; some one whom you do not know--a workman named Gilbert. JANE. Open that door! JOSHUA (_after having opened it_). Gilbert! SCENE VII Jane, Gilbert, Joshua GILBERT (_from the interior of his cell_). What is wanted? [_He appears on the threshold, sees Jane, leans trembling against the wall._ Jane! Lady Jane Talbot! JANE (_on her knees, without lifting her eyes to him_). Gilbert, I have come to save you! GILBERT. Save me! JANE.
