 Mary: Fellows?

Darnley: Who knows—one, and another, perhaps.


 * ( returns)

Beaton: Riccio is in his room, Madam.


 * ( goes)

Darnley: Then, who was it? Mary: Have you any purpose in coming?

Darnley: Who was it?

Mary: A shadow, perhaps.

Darnley: By God!

Mary: The King, then.

Darnley: The King—what king? Who was it?

Mary: You are tiresome.

Darnley: Very well, then—look to it that Riccio's matter is not all.

Mary: Riccio's matter?

Darnley: The settlement with him.

Mary: Why did you come? It was not to see a shadow, or a king, or a fellow, or what you will?

Darnley: I came as a friend to warn you. About treason. Do not shelter it. Lest harm coming to it should soil you, too.
