SALOME
Why dost thou start?
MIRIAM
Did I, mistress?
SALOME
Tell me what thou seest?
MIRIAM
There are many people standing round a fountain, and----
SALOME

MIRIAM
I cannot----
SALOME
[_Stands up and goes to window._] Ah! [_Looking out for a moment in silence._] Miriam, who is that?
MIRIAM
[_Confused._] Whom dost thou mean, mistress?
SALOME

MAECHA
Yes, mistress.
HERODIAS
Intelligence hath reached me of one they call the Baptist stirring up rebellion in the streets. Which of you know the man?
MAECHA
She does.
ABI
She hath this moment confessed it.
HERODIAS
