Elisha Bartels reads instructions from Dialogues from Schools, an 1813 textbook:
"Fear opens wide the eyes and mouth, gives the countenance an air of wildness, covers it with deadly paleness, draws back the elbows parallel with the sides, lifts up the open hands, with the fingers spread, to the height of the breast, at some distance before it. The body seems shrinking from the danger. The heart beats violently, the breath is quick and short, and the whole body is thrown into a general tremor."
LADY (Cam Magee):
Alas, I am afraid they have awak’d,
And ‘tis not done; th’ attempt and not the deed,
Confounds us—Hark! —I laid the daggers ready,
He could not miss them. Had he not resembled
My father as he slept, I had done it.
MACBETH (Clint Brandhagen):
I have done the deed—didst not thou hear a noise?
LADY:
I heard the owl scream, and the crickets cry. Did not you speak?
MACBETH:
When?
LADY:
Now.
MACBETH:
As I descended?
LADY:
Ay.
MACBETH:
Hark! —who lies i’ th’ second chamber?
LADY:
Donalbin.
MACBETH:
This is a sorry sight.
LADY:
A foolish thought to say a sorry sight.
MACBETH:
There’s one did laugh in his sleep, and one cry’d murder,
That they did wake each other; I stood and heard them:
But they did say their pray’rs, and addressed them
Again to sleep—
—Macbeth
