Tell me, Dorothy, do you know of any such persons?
If you can tell me their names, you will serve your queen, and will save your lover.

No harm shall come to Sir John, and no one save myself shall have knowledge of any word that you may speak.

If I do not learn the names of the traitors through you or through Sir John, I may be compelled to hold him a prisoner until I discover them.

If through you I learn them, Sir John shall go free at once." "Gladly, for your Majesty's sake alone would I tell you the names of such traitorous men, did I know them;" replied Dorothy, "and thrice gladly would I do so if I might thereby liberate John.

Your Majesty must see that these motives are strong enough to induce me to speak if I knew aught to tell you.
