(Enter several Servants, alarmed.)
Rud. What all these fools upon us! Staring knaves,
What brings ye here at this untimely hour?
1st Serv. We have all heard it—'twas the yell of hounds
And clatt'ring steeds, and the shrill horn between.
Rud. Out on such folly!
2d Serv. In very truth it pass'd close to the walls;
Did not your honour hear it?
Rud. Ha! say'st thou so? thou art not wont to join
In idle tales.—I'll to the battlements
And watch it there: it may return again.
[Exeunt severally, Rudigere followed by Servants, and Orra into her own chamber.
SCENE IV.
The Outlaws' Cave; enter Theobald.
Theo. (looking round.) Here is a place in which some traces are
Of late inhabitants. In yonder nook
The embers faintly gleam, and on the walls
Hang spears and ancient arms: I must be right.
A figure thro' the gloom moves towards me.
Ho! there! Whoe'er you are: Holla! good friend!
