Romeo's servant who knew the secret of the marriage, but not of Juliet's pretended death, heard of her funeral, and hurried to Mantua to tell Romeo how his young wife was dead and lying in the grave. "Is it so?" cried Romeo, heart-broken. "Then I will lie by Juliet's side to-night." And he bought himself a poison, and went straight back to Verona. He hastened to the tomb where Juliet was lying.
She did so without a second thought or any feeling that it was wrong to poke about in a place like this and pry into secrets. Juliet seemed to belong to her as though she had been a sister, her own likeness to the dead girl was a bond of attraction stronger than a family tie, and Juliet's mournful love story completed the charm.
"Well and now the question is, will you take the part of the Nurse or not in the dramatics?" asked Mrs. Munger, returning to business. "Well, I must think about that, and I must ask Mr. Wilmington. Jack," she called over her shoulder to the young man at the window, "do you think your uncle would approve of me as Juliet's Nurse?" "You'd better ask him," growled the young fellow. "Well," said Mrs.
He might be innocent as he said, yet the facts of the visit to the cottage, the possession of the knife and of the overcoat which he wore when seen by Juliet, hinted at his guilt. Also the forged bill and check might implicate him in the matter. Did Jennings learn of these things, he would certainly arrest Saxon on suspicion, and, for Juliet's sake, Cuthbert did not wish such a thing to happen.
"Nothing," was Juliet's reply. "But I heard loud voices." "That was only when Miss Sutton walked on baby." "Poor little fellow! How did that happen?" "Oh, I don't know; he just slipped off my lap at the very moment that she was coming out. He's not hurt." Mrs. Rowles picked up the baby to make sure that he was not injured, and found no mark or bruise.
He would call on her as his patient, and satisfy himself at once how things were between them. At best they had taken a bad turn. He judged it better, however, to let a day or two pass. When he did call, he was shown into the drawing-room, where he found Helen at the piano, and Juliet having a singing-lesson from her. Till then he had never heard Juliet's song voice.
It's a little cold, but it's in the right spirit. You mean that the Mercutio wasn't comparable to the Nurse." "Oh, Lyra was wonderful!" said Annie. "Don't you think so, Ellen?" "She was Lyra," said Mrs. Putney definitely. "No; she wasn't Lyra at all!" retorted Annie. "That was the marvel of it. She was Juliet's nurse." "Perhaps she was a little of both," suggested Putney.
Miss Toller, Brighton lodging-house keeper, always in black gown no speck of colour even on Sundays whose life was spent before sinks and stoves, through whose barred kitchen windows the sun never shone, had wandered in the land of romance; in her heart also Juliet's flame had burned.
Elizabeth had some thought of restoring it, for it had already become ruinous; Leland says: "The residue of the buildings of the Castle be sore wetherbeten, and yn ruine; but it hath beene a large thinge." Its outworks extended to the mainland, but the great keep was on the isolated mass of rock. Here also are the remains of St. Juliet's chapel, with its altar-slab and stone benches.
Then Paris said, "I defy you, and I arrest you as a felon," and Romeo, in his anger and despair, drew his sword. They fought, and Paris was killed. As Romeo's sword pierced him, Paris cried "Oh, I am slain! If thou be merciful, open the tomb, and lay me with Juliet!" And Romeo said, "In faith I will." And he carried the dead man into the tomb and laid him by the dear Juliet's side.
