THE PHANTOM: A DRAMA.
SCENE VI.
An Apartment, the walls of which are lined with oak, and partly hung with arras.
Enter a Maid Servant, carrying a lamp and a basket, &c.
MAID (speaking as she enters).
The sickly air must needs be purified.
But what does all this fuming signify,
Since we must die at our appointed time?
What dost thou think—(looking round and seeming alarmed)—She has not followed me.
I thought she was behind me. Lord preserve us! Here in this ghastly chamber all alone!
(Going to the door and calling.)
Art thou not coming, Marjory? Where art thou?
I say, where art thou? I have need of thee.
Enter a Second Maid.
SECOND MAID.
