DIANA You shall not need to fear me.
Widow I hope so.
[Enter HELENA, disguised like a Pilgrim]
Look, here comes a pilgrim: I know she will lie at
my house; thither they send one another: I'll
question her. God save you, pilgrim! whither are you bound?
HELENA To Saint Jaques le Grand.
Where do the palmers lodge, I do beseech you?
Widow At the Saint Francis here beside the port.
HELENA Is this the way?
Widow Ay, marry, is't.
[A march afar]
Hark you! they come this way.
If you will tarry, holy pilgrim,
But till the troops come by,
I will conduct you where you shall be lodged;
The rather, for I think I know your hostess
As ample as myself.
HELENA Is it yourself?
Widow If you shall please so, pilgrim.
HELENA I thank you, and will stay upon your leisure.
Widow You came, I think, from France?
HELENA I did so.
Widow Here you shall see a countryman of yours
That has done worthy service.
HELENA His name, I pray you.
DIANA The Count Rousillon: know you such a one?
HELENA But by the ear, that hears most nobly of him:
His face I know not.
