Note 480 — NOTE ON SYMBOLS (continued 3)

Sir G. G. has, besides the London and Barnet road (III. i), the houses of (a) Eugenia (I. i-iii; II; IV. i) and (b) Momford (I. iv; II; III. ii; IV. iii; V). Both have action within, none above. In IV. ii. 140 persons on the street are met by pages coming from Momford’s ‘on the other side’, but (b) is near enough to (a) to enable Clarence in II to overhear from it (as directed in I. iv. 202) a talk between Momford and Eugenia, probably in her porch, where (ii. 17) ‘Enter Wynnefred, Anabell, with their sowing workes and sing’, and Momford passes over to Clarence at ii. 216. Two contiguous rooms in (b) are used for V. i, ii (a single scene). One is Clarence’s; from the other he is overheard. They are probably both visible to the audience, and are divided by a curtain. At V. ii. 128 ‘He draws the curtains and sits within them’. Parrott adds other s.ds. for curtains at 191, 222, 275, which are not in Q1.
