WHY JESUS WEPT
33
SIR PERCY, very pale.
Is this your writing ?
ANGELA.
Oh shame ! shame ! shame !
Tell me you have not read it, Sir Percy !
SIR PERCY.
Some I did read — How know you my name ?
ANGELA.
I read it in my heart. O but I am ashamed to speak to
you ! Or would be were not that name as a brand to blot out
all feeling from me for evermore.
SIR PERCY aside.
How she speaks ! It is indeed an angel singing.
(Aloud.) Indeed, I read too far.
ANGELA.
Pity me !
SIR PERCY.
Dear lady, the joy to know, and so perfectly to express
such love is enough.
ANGELA.
You mock me ! That girl — do you in truth love her ? She
is most beautiful.
