SCENE I. A Castle belonging to the Earl of Glo'ster. Enter Edmund and Curan, severally.

Edmund.

Save thee, Curan.

Cur.

And you, Sir. I have been with your father, and given him notice that the Duke of Cornwall, and Regan his Dutchess, will be here with him this night.

Edm.

How comes that?

Cur.

Nay, I know not; you have heard of the news abroad; I mean, the whisper'd ones; for they are yet but ear-kissing arguments.

Edm.

Not I; pray you, what are they?

Cur.

Have you heard of no likely wars toward, 'twixt the Dukes of Cornwall and Albany?

Edm.

Not a word.

Cur.

You may do then in time. Fare you well, Sir.
