CATHLEEN. (to ALEEL) Go call them here again, bring them by force, Beseech them, bribe, do anything you like; (ALEEL goes.) And you too follow, add your prayers to his. (OONA, who has been praying, goes out.) Steward, you know the secrets of my house. How much have I? STEWARD. A hundred kegs of gold. CATHLEEN. How much have I in castles? STEWARD. As much more. CATHLEEN. How much have I in pasture? STEWARD. As much more. CATHLEEN. How much have I in forests? STEWARD. As much more. CATHLEEN. Keeping this house alone, sell all I have, Go barter where you please, but come again |
