SCENE II.

A small ornamented Apartment in the Castle.

Enter Blas and Inez, carrying different things in their hands, speaking as they enter.

INEZ.

I leave thee too these cases of perfume,

And this small book of tales and warlike sports.
Place them as I have said, and be thou secret:
Be sure thou tell to no one for what guest
This chamber is prepared.

BLAS.

But if I should, I should not break my word.

I guess'd it out myself; thou did'st not trust me.

INEZ.

Yes, but I did confirm thy guess, more surely

To rivet thee to secrecy. Thy lady
Will greatly be displeased, should thou divulge it;
Therefore be prudent.—When thy task is done,
Thou'lt find me in the lower corridor.[Exit.

BLAS (murmuring to himself).

Be secret, tell to no one, and thy lady

Will greatly be displeased! What is't to me?
