Volpone; or, The Fox · 1606
Act III, Scene 5
A CLOSET OPENING INTO A GALLERY.
ENTER MOSCA AND BONARIO.
MOS: Sir, your father hath sent word,
It will be half an hour ere he come;
And therefore, if you please to walk the while
Into that gallery--at the upper end,
There are some books to entertain the time:
And I'll take care no man shall come unto you, sir.
BON: Yes, I will stay there.
[ASIDE.]--I do doubt this fellow.
[EXIT.]
MOS [LOOKING AFTER HIM.]: There; he is far enough;
he can hear nothing:
And, for his father, I can keep him off.
[EXIT.]
