The Complete Plays of Oscar Wilde. Оскар Уайльд

Ah! what is that?

       Torches ablaze, and noise of hurrying feet.

       Pray God they have not seized her.

       [Noise grows louder.]

       Beatrice!

       There is yet time to escape. Come down, come out!

       [The voice of the DUCHESS outside.]

       This way went he, the man who slew my lord.

       [Down the staircase comes hurrying a confused body of Soldiers; GUIDO is not seen at first, till the DUCHESS surrounded by Servants carrying torches appears at the top of the staircase, and points to GUIDO, who is seized at once, one of the Soldiers dragging the knife from his hand and showing it to the Captain of the Guard in sight of the audience. Tableau.]
