He won't get free of her again; she'll lead
His
wildness
home and keep him tame for ever.
Lascelle Abercrombie
O but this,
This is the joke of the world!
_Francis_.
Hallo! a girl!
And, by the Lord, Katrina!--But why here?
_Valentine_.
She's followed him, of course; she's heard of this
Mad escapade and followed after him.
_Francis_.
She has not seen us yet. Now what to do?
_Valentine_.
Quick! Where's your handkerchief? Truss his wrists and ankles,
And pull his coat up over his head and leave him!
He won't get free of her again; she'll lead
His
wildness
home and keep him tame for ever.
Now!
[_They fall on him, bind him, and blindfold him_.
_Sylvan_.
What are you doing? Whatever are you doing?
Hell burn you, let me go!
_Valentine_.
There's worse to come.
[_They make off, and leave_ SYLVAN _shouting_.
KATRINA _runs in_.
_Katrina_.
Dear Heaven! Were they robbers? Have they hurt you?
