(_Isabel turns to go._) Stay! (_Isabel stops._) Who is the wonderful spinner? Tell us where to find her. ISABEL. Here, your Majesty. QUEEN. Hidden away, I suppose? ISABEL (_nodding_). Yes, your Highness, behind those curtains. QUEEN. Go, my son, and draw the curtains. You shall be the first to look upon your bride.

You'd never be sorry to take me for your bride, my lord. PRINCE (_not heeding_). Why is your foot so flat? FLAT-FOOT. From treading the wheel! From treading the wheel! HANGING-LIP. You'd never be sorry to take me for your bride, my lord. |
