ACT II.
Scene I. A court within the Castle of the Earl of Gloucester.
[Enter Edmund and Curan, meeting.]
EDMUND.
Save thee, Curan.
CURAN.
And you, sir. I have been with your father, and given him
notice that the Duke of Cornwall and Regan his duchess will be
here with him this night.
EDMUND.
How comes that?
CURAN.
Nay, I know not. — You have heard of the news abroad; I mean the
whispered ones, for they are yet but ear-kissing arguments?
EDMUND.
Not I: pray you, what are they?
CURAN.
Have you heard of no likely wars toward, 'twixt the two dukes
of Cornwall and Albany?
EDMUND.
Not a word.
CURAN.
You may do, then, in time. Fare you well, sir.
[Exit.]
