Act 5 — SCENE I

Reading edition

[Enter Uncle.] Uncle. Oh, I am a bold, bad man, And I have a bold, bad plan. Now mind what you're about, Just watch and see how I carry it out! For I am a bold, bad man, And I have a bold, bad plan.

[He beckons, and from either side, in cloaks and masks, and armed with daggers, enter Remorseless Fiends.]

Fiends. Two remorseless fiends are we, As anybody can see. When a deed of blood's to do, Just send for us and we'll carry it through; For remorseless fiends are we, As anybody can see.

[Uncle gives them gold, in bags, and indicates stabbing. They express comprehension. Dance. Curtain.]
