Act III.
Queen Elizabeth | Mr. N. L. Knell |

To be a regular Royal Queen!

But a right-down regular Royal Queen.
—Gondoliers.
Bessie Throckmorton (Attendant on Queen) | Miss M. Morpeth |

And when a woman smiled,
The strong man was a child.
The sage a noodle.
—Thackeray.

I thought 'twas Venus from her isle,
And wondered where she'd left her sparrows.

And mischief-making monkey from his birth.
—Byron.
Innkeeper | Mr. Henderson |
Lo! with a voice unspeakably dramatic,
Lo! with a gesture, singularly fine.
—Stephen.
