Content Summary: As we do not see the women drag Camma into the temple Irving says what is described "The doors are open'd - the women drag her in" or something like and he would like one more line to impress that she has found refuge and escaped him. "These Romans dare not violate the temple" would be just the thing - but that comes in splendidly where it is. Why cannot we repeat a good thing?
