The Document |
| I have a document |
| For you to sign |
| A document? |
| Sit here |
| Use my pen |
| A document |
| What kind of document? |
| Just sign it here |
| And here |
| And we’ll be done |
| Now? |
| It’s a formality |
| Sign your name, Lady Glyde |
| Here |
| On the line |
| What are you asking me to sign? |
| (Fosco enters, all civility) |
| Percival |
| You said you needed me |
| I am at your service |
| Ah, Buongiorno, ladies! |
| I trust you slept well? |
| I need a witness |
| To Laura’s signature |
| Again, what is this document? |
| Sign your name, Lady Glyde |
| Sir, she has a right to know |
| It pertains, Miss Halcombe |
| To a man and his wife |
| Then let me read it first |
| That isn’t asking much |
| Sign |
| I have a carriage waiting! |
| (to Count Fosco) |
| Do you know what’s in these papers? |
| I’m as ignorant as you and Lady Glyde |
| Sign! |
| But I cannot sign |
| What I haven’t read |
| It is too involved |
| For your pretty head |
| As a sign of trust |
| Please pick up the pen |
| I will read it first |
| I will trust you then |
| Let our lawyers bless |
| What you want from her |
| Then she’ll acquiesce |
| With her signature |
| You’ve a pointed tone |
| That I will not bear |
| That’s a point of view |
| I completely share |
| Sign your name, Lady Glyde! |
| Infernal women, you know nothing about business! |
| Oh! |
| Calmly, my dear friend |
| Lady Glyde’s upset |
| So is her sister |
| Can’t the papers wait another day? |
| This is a timely matter, and it will not wait! |
| I will gladly sign |
| When I know what it is |
| Forget about the signature |
| I’m urging you, please |
| As a man of honor, be patient |
| Send the carriage away |
| In all good conscience |
| I could not be a witness now |
| For God’s sake, woman, sign! |
| I will not stand for it, I will not! |
| (Sir Percival goes to strike his wife. He is prevented by Fosco and Marian) |
| Stop it! |
| Stop it! |
| She’s still my wife! |
| She’ll do as I say! |
| Your temper, sir! |
| Stay out of my way! |
| You must be confined |
| Till you see the light! |
| This is not a jail! |
| Sir, this is not right! |
| She should gladly do |
| Anything I say |
| She’s a willful child |
| Who will have her way! |
| GLYDE! |
| You must hold your tongue! |
| You must not react! |
| You must leave at once! |
| Your good name… intact |
| (Sir Percival leaves) |
| You’ll be fine, Lady Glyde |
| Don’t touch me! |
| You’re safe, my dear |
| You’ll be alright |
| His bark is far worse |
| Than his bite |
| His temper flares |
| Don’t be alarmed |
| He will calm down |
| You won’t be harmed |
| Without your aid |
| Where would we be? |
| How could I not? |
| Don’t come near me! |
| He is our friend! |
| Look what he’s done! |
| I don’t trust him |
| Or anyone! |
| You’ll be fine |
| Lady Glyde |
| (Marian takes his hand—a thank you in her eyes. Fosco leaves.) |
