Behn, Aphra

"The Rover"

Enter
Valeria, and is surpriz'd at the Sight of Don Pedro. Val. Don Pedro
here! there's no avoiding him. [Aside. Flor. Valeria! then I'm undone-
[Aside. Val. Oh! have I found you, Sir- [To Pedro, running to him.
-The strangest Accident- if I had breath- to tell it. Ped. Speak- is
Florinda safe? Hellena well? Val. Ay, ay, Sir- Florinda- is safe- from
any fears of you. Ped. Why, where's Florinda?- speak. Val. Ay, where
indeed, Sir? I wish I could inform you,- But to hold you no longer in
doubt- Flor. Oh, what will she say! [Aside. Val. She's fled away in
the Habit of one of her Pages, Sir- but Callis thinks you may retrieve
her yet, if you make haste away; she'll tell you, Sir, the rest- if
you can find her out. [Aside. Ped. Dishonourable Girl, she has undone
my Aim- Sir- you see my necessity in leaving you, and I hope you'll
pardon it: my Sister, I know, will make her flight to you; and if she
do, I shall expect she should be render'd back. Belv. I shall consult
my Love and Honour, Sir. [Ex Ped. Flor. My dear Preserver let me
embrace thee. [To Val. Will. What the Devil's all this? Blunt. Mystery
by this Light. Val. Come, come, make haste and get your selves married
quickly, for your Brother will return again. Belv. I am so surpriz'd
with Fears and Joys, so amaz'd to find you here in safety, I can
scarce persuade my Heart into a Faith of what I see- Will.
