Cordeil's Voice (a child's voice, outside):

Father ... Father ... Father ... Are you here?
Merryn, ugly Merryn, let me in ...
I know my father is here ... I want him ... Now ...
Mother, chide Merryn, she is old and slow ...


Hygd (softly):

My little curse. Send her away--away ...


Cordeil's Voice:

Father... O, father, father... I want my father.


Goneril (opening the door a little way):

Hush; hush--you hurt your mother with your voice.
You cannot come in, Cordeil; you must go away:
Your father is not here ...


Cordeil's Voice:

He must be here:
He is not in his chamber or the hall,
He is not in the stable or with Gormflaith:
