LORD WORRYMORE.

What a desperate haste she must be in! (Going to the table, and seeing the Amanuensis at a loss.) Write on, my friend: what's the matter?

AMANUENSIS.

There's something wrong here.

LORD WORRYMORE.

That's impossible.

AMANUENSIS.

There must be a page wanting.

LORD WORRYMORE (examining the papers).

Truly, so there is. I must have dropt it in the library.

[Exit into the library.

BLOUNT (aside, looking at the Amanuensis).

Silly fellow, to mention such a discovery! It would have made as good sense without the page as with it.

LORD WORRYMORE (calling behind the scenes, from the library).

Bring light here: I can see nothing.
[Exit Amanuensis, carrying a light, and Blount following.
