From my uncle In France--the worthy Cardinal of Lorrain? [She reads. "Confide in Mortimer, who brings you this; You have no truer, firmer friend in England." [Looking at him with astonishment. Can I believe it? Is there no delusion To cheat my senses? Do I find a friend So near, when I conceived myself abandoned By the whole world? And find that friend in you, The nephew of my gaoler, whom I thought My most inveterate enemy? MORTIMER (kneeling). Oh, pardon, My gracious liege, for the detested mask, Which it has cost me pain enough to wear; Yet through such means alone have I the power To see you, and to bring you help and rescue.
