MISS FITTON:
What's the good?
HERBERT:
All the good; you'll have the proof, and be convinced, and yield. Try me.
MISS FITTON:
How easy it is to gull oneself when one wishes to. If the Queen entered now, my lord, you'd be at her feet in an instant.
HERBERT:
MISS FITTON:
Do you mean you would stay by me even if she called you?
HERBERT:
Even if she called, if you promise.
MISS FITTON:
You would not dare.
HERBERT:
Dare! indeed; wouldn't I!
THE QUEEN:
Let the dance go on!
MISS FITTON:
Go, the Queen calls, go.
LORD HERBERT.
But will you promise?
THE QUEEN:
Lord Herbert!
MISS FITTON:
Go, I'll forgive you, go.
HERBERT:
But will you promise?
THE QUEEN:
Send Lord Herbert to me.
MISS FITTON:
Yes, I promise--sometime--go!
THE QUEEN:
You forget your manners, my lord, and your duty.
HERBERT:
Manners, ma'am, and duty are worthless frozen words: my allegiance to you is an irresistible passion; as, you know, the desire of the moth for the light.
THE QUEEN:
Methinks, the moth is quite content with blackness, here.
HERBERT:
The eyes that suffer through excess of radiance close of themselves to rest.
THE QUEEN:
You may dance, my lord. Go on with the dance. The Coranto, not that kissing thing.
LADY JANE WROTH:
STANLEY:
That's morality.
THE QUEEN:
Lord Herbert! Are you deaf to-night? I will dance with you.
HERBERT:
I knew I'd win you.
THE QUEEN:
Win me?
